hi debbie,

i've had some choking problems too.
my neuro sent me for a swallowing eval with a speech therapist.
she gave me some suggestions. one of which was what you're doing, drop your head.

however, since you're in the dx (diagnostic) process i think your dr needs to know about these problems. seeing your dr when you're symptomatic may help him dx you sooner.

and, since he gave you steroids and you're now having more problems he needs to know.

please call him and keep us posted.
