Hi, Will,

I have read your posts. Since ALS seems to have been ruled out, isn't your primary care doctor thinking of a referral to a GI specialist? Losing the ability to swallow and having to put up with so many mini-hiccups every day must be difficult.

Or maybe a different neurologist? Some doctors just aren't very competent, and maybe you have been unlucky. You're very tired of being bounced around from doctor to doctor, I'm sure, but sometimes you just have to persist.

I'm sorry I can't provide any more precise answers for you. I hope that you can find some ways of stopping your symptoms. While you're waiting for a diagnosis, you might want to try tinkering with your diet and your exercise and sleep routines to see if any changes in them might help. And by all means look carefully at any medicines or supplements you're taking. They can cause a boatload of problems.
