Hello @deespoohbear,

I see this is your first post on Connect, welcome! You seem to have some experience with swallowing disorders. I'm always interested in learning about this, as I have also had a swallowing disorder; however, mine was caused by a paralyzed vocal cord. Fortunately, I was able to have surgery on the paralyzed cord, so that it closes up with the other vocal cord, and the swallowing problem has lessened. I often find it helpful if I hold my breath when I swallow.

Please share, as you are comfortable doing so, a little about your journey with this issue. For example, how long have you had a swallowing problem? Did it take a long time to get the correct diagnosis? Have there been any treatments (like speech therapy) that were helpful?

I look forward to hearing from you again.
