Hi @flyingpigsrule and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Glad you found us. I completely sympathize with feeling very helpless as the patient when your body has so many issues going on. I added your post to the ENT section of Connect as well so you can engage with even more members.

It seems as though you have researched cricopharyngeal spasm pretty extensively. Have you been to or considered comprehensive facility like Mayo Clinic?

Hi Amanda— I appreciate that suggestion. I probably would benefit from a multidisciplinary consult. Last time I was at Mayo I was seen in several departments but nobody seemed to coordinate their findings. For this I’ve been to Johns Hopkins, Georgetown University Hopsital, George Washington University Hopsital and several local specialists.

I appreciate you adding this to ENT also. Does Mayo have specialists who deal specifically with cricopharyngeal spasm?
