Do you have MuSK MG? I know that mainly affects the muscles from the neck up. That's the kind of MG I have and I have had MUCHO problems with swallowing over the years.

As far as getting in nutrients---slow and steady wins the race. Ensure is OK, but I preferred Boost. LOL Carnation instant breakfast is also pretty good. Chips and dip are also pretty easy for me to get down as well. Anything that didn't take lots of pushing around with the tongue worked. Some winners:

1. Potato or other cream soup (you'll hate soup forever---WARNING)

2. Mac and cheese. (I like Stouffer's brand)

3. Smoothies

4. Fresh green juice drinks. I have a juicer and juice up cucumber, celery, lettuce, sprouts, apples, etc. I've found the consistency to be very agreeable when I have severe dysphagia.

5. Yogurt, cottage cheese and fruit, etc.

6. Mashed potatoes and gravy. If you eat meat, you can mince it and add to the mix.

7. Soft scrambled eggs.

Dehydration is a big worry. Constantly sip on water through the day.

Hope some of this helps.
