swallowing difficulty and better b12 and homocystine levels
After about 4 weeks on b12 and folic acid, his b12 levels have almost trippled to 640. His homocystine levels have decreased from 17.5 to 11. His pain, headaches, and brainfog worstened - but the doc said it was probably because the nerves were healing which causes increased pain. So, good news there! The Gabapentin, taken for about 2 weeks is helping significantly - decreasing all pain and relieving the brain fog.
However, recently, my husband is having difficulty swallowing his pills, vitamins, supplements, and such. He says it's like an increased gag reflex. In the last few years he has been choking or coughing at the first bite or drink of 'anything'- (it's hard to know what's going on - he thinks it's irritation on his throat from the tube used during sinus surgery - 3 years ago?!?)
He has an MRI scheduled for next week - will be interesting if they see anything parculiar.
Comments or suggestions are welcome!
