Re: Swallowing difficulties/neuro response

[Guest guest]

n, I took your advice.

I called and I’m to start monthly B-12 injections, per the neuro. I

asked the nurse if I had a B-12 deficiency, and she said my numbers were

moderate. Interesting.

Trisha, many wMS experience what is

called " dysphagia " or

" not swallowing " in Greek. Let your neurologist know about

this. They can diagnose it by having you swallow a substance,

and doing a scan as you attempt to swallow it. Prednisone or

other Cortico-Steroid also works well with this. In its most se

vere form, one cannot even swallow saliva! Don't wait to call!

difficulties

Here I am again! Sorry for “hogging” the

subject matters.

I’m curious, for those of you who have had the symptom

of “swallowing difficulty”, did it also include getting food lodged

in your throat frequently?

I had tingling sensations at the back of my throat, which

just sort of linger… and then turned into a cough and phlegm

production… and then uncontrollable coughing. I found that I had a

chunk of food lodged in my throat and the incessant coughing finally dislodged

it. The cough an phlegm continue, and now I just got another piece of

food stuck clear at the back of my throat. This is new to me.

Is this common?

Thanks again – you all are such a fantastic resource!!

I've never heard of B 12 as a treatment for swallowing problems. Or was it that you called about the swallowing and they said "oh yeah, start B 12"?I have had swallowing difficulties at times myself but I think mine was different that what you described. For me I felt like I could swallow. Period. It wasn't when I was eating though. My neuro told me to "trick" myself into swallowing by taking a drink of water into my mouth. Sure enough that would trick my brain into sending the message to my throat/muscles to swallow. I still always carry a bottle of water with me everywhere. Sharonjoin me on Facebook:Sharon
