If you don’t mind my asking…

Do you plan on seeing the dr for this?

Have you had problems with your cervical spine? I’m wondering if my troubles stem from damage I did to my neck due to a fall from 25 years ago. I do have nerve problems with neck and lumbar area.

Trying to make sense of it. I understand nerves from the neck innervate the shoulders (have issues that come and go often with them too). I’m wondering if the necks nerves have anything to do with the swallowing actions (I have polyradiculopathy of neck and lumbar w/severe nerve damage) that has not gotten better. The nm doctor when asked, said its the entire neck (the PolyRad) so that covers a good surface area.

I am trying to figure out and understand why and settle one health issue at a time. Why the body seems to be revolting.

How long between the attempt to initiate a swallow and the actual swallowing action did it take you? For me, it was about 5 seconds or so (around).

It happens mostly late day to night…I think when I’m tired it happens more.
Does this happen with you? Does time of day matter when it happens to you?

How long have you been having the trouble with this swallowing? It’s just been about a month for me that I can remember.

Since 2021 I grind meds because I developed issues with swallowing pills (nearly choked on pill), I still grind larger pills, others I take w/applesauce.
There are times it takes multiple swallows to get pills down. Some pills take 4+ tries with applesauce. Other pills go down slower so follow with water until its down. I take one at a time.

I don’t know if you take meds, but if you do, do you have any trouble swallowing pills?

I appreciate your reply to my post.

Thank you.
