Hi all,
I had the swallow study this morning...there was a speech pathologist there to administer the items I had to swallow...they took a video and she went over it with me afterwards.
She didn't see any problems at all...no reflux, no spasms, nothing. She said that since most of my choking problems occur in the late afternoon/evening, if I do have MS, my muscles might fatigue at that point and then the choking might be more likely.
So we went over tucking the head down before swallowing, and she said to make liquids a bit thicker if I feel I'm having a problem.
Glad I had it done, but now I feel like a hypochondriac. Isn't it weird that our bodies never misbehave when a dr. is present, or we're undergoing labs, etc?
Thanks again for all the info/encouragement.
