Confused What is this choking thing again??

Hi everyone,
Well, I guess the prednisone I was on for 2 wks in Dec. must be wearing off a bit--the neuropathic pain is back, twitching in my calves is also now in feet, hamstrings, torso and arms, and I'm tripping/walking weird again.

But the scariest sx that returned is the choking. I choked on food/drink three times yesterday...I aspirated some of it. This seems to occur for about two weeks off and on, and then it dissipates for a few months, then returns.

But I've never choked so much in one day. My DH told me I need to pay more attention when I'm swallowing, but I do. I drop my head, which seems to manually close off the epiglotis (sp). But I still choke.

I don't know if this is something that needs to be addressed by the neuro. I'm still undxd, so I don't want to call with minor blips in sxs. I have an appt in mid March.

I don't want to seem like a hypochondriac, which is why I often don't call with new/returning sxs. But this scares me. I'm afraid to eat or drink when I'm home alone.
What do all of you think?
