Brian,

You lost 140 lbs? That's a crazy amount of weight! Over what time period- two years?

I think that I lost about 20 lbs, but my weight is back up again, thank God...I only have minor problems with swallowing, though...Eating causes me problems because of a weak tongue, mainly...

Did they ever suggest giving you a feeding tube?

Yeah, this flu shot is throwing me for a loop...I suspect that I might be able to handle it since I get infections like it's no one's business already on account of the prednisone, and I don't go into crisis from those, although my speech goes up in flames...

I think that I will ask my GP, but he seems to always agree with everything my neuro. says...
