Treating MAC without the big three?

@wolfplanetzero yes, I was given a swallow test as part of the gerd workup, and that too was normal. I read a comment recently by Linda I think that her swallow test was also normal but she went to speech therapy to improve swallowing technique which I am going to push for myself. Something is not quite right and of course I am worried about aspiration.

Sometimes it is not GERD but a vocal cord or trachea dysfunction (it seems I am lucky to only have one of them.) These can be tested for by the ENT or a speech therapist.

Sounds like an excellent practice plan. Improving swallowing now could pay dividends later on.
