I can swallow , but have to think about it and never did before. I have to make sure I chew well and a sandwich (the bread) can make a glommy mess that's hard to swallow. I have water bottles everywhere but lately it seems to choke me more when I drink. I use straws in them now, that helps me some.

I catch myself not breathing thru my nose when I drink sometimes and gasp when I lower the glass.
