Apparently I was tested a few years ago, and that was OK. We talked through what some of my symptons should be if this was a problem, and I opted not to do it. (sadly, tired of tests..) He has no issue ordering the test, and after reading Nick's words, I might call and ask for it. This was my GP, who originally sent me to the hospital. I'm his first patient with MAI... I feel like I have a team though, so I'll also talk to my IFD & my pulmonary Dr about the test. Pneumonia is gone, I'm feeling better and exercising again. Was taking cefpodoxime and am glad to be off of that!

Check the video exercises swallowing difficulties
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ERQarqgyfOA@maggiew, Hi Maggie. So glad that you are continuing to improve.
@nick52, Thank you Nicole. I will practice these exercises for swallowing. Good to know also, in case we need to help any of our family members with swallowing issues.
@nick52 Nicole, can you please explain the issue you have with radiation? Thanks!

Dear Maggie,
It is a very simple test. Not complicated at all. Ask the orthophoniste when she will talk to you with a questionnaire before the test. Ask her if the radiologist will assist during the test if she says no insist to have him there. There is radiation
in the X-ray but it is worth the test. I had an NAET treatment this Friday and radiation was an issue that I had treated. I had real good result with it since July so I now believe in it. I wish we could all meet together. We all have our experience and
we could help each other. Write video déglutition video on google. I will check if I can post it on this group conversation.
