First of all, let me say how very sorry I am you are going through this.
I too had problems with swallowing - had the swallow study - was told by the dr I was "fine"

and 2 weeks later was in the hospital with tubes everywhere.
I also agree witht the others that swallowing is easier, much easier when my head and chin are tilted down or to the side.........brian taught me that when I first joined...
This is NOT in your head!!!!!!! Get a 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinion!!!! You owe it to yourself and everyone who loves you to feel better........
Hugs!
