OMG I was just diagnosed in July of this year. I was terrified. I have started my antibiotics 2 weeks ago. My question to you is...when you started your antibiotics did you have any chest discomfort in the first few weeks? I've been told I have a hole in my right lung and I find I'm having discomfort from time to time...regards

@nick52, Thank you, I will!

Pfists, i don’t know if you got my message “ how rhe test is done” but the test is call video deglutition and you can see how the test is done on google. The gave you different texture like cookie with barium, pablum with barium , apple sauce with barium, juice with barium, thick liquid with barium and the x ray is on the left side (here) like a video and the radiologist can see how the swallowing is functionning. If you hav aspiration they will see it. It is the only test that can confirm “aspiration”. Is this clear enough for you. If you have a question do not hesitate to make your request.
