@sandy8043 Good afternoon ,
Were you ever offered medication to at least help you feel a little better during your 2 year life of side effects ?

@ernierogersquamus123 My issues are mostly the mechanics of swallowing. I wasn't nauseous at all. Really no pain either. I did the exercises as prescribed and had to learn to move the food from front to back and chew enough before swallowing. Early on food went right to the back and there was a lot of choking. I had to teach my tongue to keep the food forward until I was done chewing. Progress was slow but worth it!
