Hi :

Yes, I have had difficulty at times with swallowing.

It's like I really have to think about it before I can

swallow and attempt a few times before I am able to

swallow - really strange. I think somehow it does go

along with RA ( or a, help?). I was on

Plaquenil for almost 2-1/2 years when first dx and had

no problems at all with it. This swallowing stuff has

just started in the past year or so. I have no other

throat problems, and it only happens once in a while,

so I just deal with it.

I am sorry to hear that your daughter's husband will

be going to Afghanistan for a year, but please tell

her that I truly do appreciate him and every other

soldier out there who is serving in the military, and

defending our right to freedom and safeguarding this

country, and bringing freedom to other people. My

husband is from Iran and I know from him how very

toxic and hateful Saddam's regieme, the Afgan regeime,

and finally the Iranian government is to their own

people. He is so very happy to be an American citizen,

and be a be blessed to be living here, but and fears

daily for his family still in Iran. My prayers will be

with you and your daughter's family, and especially

her husband that he return to her safely.

I've been having the non-swallowing issue myself, for the last couple or few

years. I just thought it was part of growing old or something, certainly not my

meds. I don't take Plaquenil, so it must be related to something else, maybe

just a side effect of RA, as you suggest. If I have something to swallow, like a

sip of water, I do ok. But with a normal amount saliva, I forget how and when I

finally do, it can be uncomfortable. Maybe it's contagious!
