I am choking alot more. Four times yesterday. So I took a chance and made a 'cold call' to a local Ear Nose Throat doc who I found reviewed with high praise. I was very happy that they did go ahead and give me an appointment and it is next week!!

Passing the referral process speeds things up. Given my pcp is not taking this seriously enough, not reading my pulmo reports, I think this is the best. I doubt he would write a helpful referral. I can take my pulmos last report about the tests he did on my swallow.

My pcp ordered a swallow test but at this point I think this maybe more than just a swallow test would reveal. What is going on in my throat is affecting my swallow, my talking and breathing. Now to hopefully find someone to take me.
