YEEES!!! i'm the exact same way.. when my symptoms are bad, it's like i have this delayed swallowing thing.. and I have to wonder - is this all in my head!?! becuase i'm thinking about it? pills definitely are the worst for me, sometimes I feel like I psych myself out.. but I know that part of it is whatever this is that I have too! I have been doing great with swallowing for months and months.. until the past few weeks, then I realized, its finally warming up here - heat = all sorts of problems!
