Any LEMS (Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome) people out there?

Hi, my Mom has the LEM'S. She has been losing a lot of weight even more so now that it is getting difficult for her to swallow. Has anyone else heard of people having a difficult time swallowing? If so, have you heard of anything that can help that?
Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Shawna 🙂

@shawnamarie there are so many confusing things that have to be dealt with. Eating and swallowing can be particularly problematic. I would suggest that you let your mother’s doctor know as aspiration could become a problem. Aspiration means saliva or food particles that could go into the lungs causing pneumonia. The doctor may have some suggestions for your mom.
Do you think you could call the doctor on Monday? Be sure to let me know what you learn!
