Yes Jeanne.  I think you spelled it right too.  I will see if this happens to me

again.  I will need to get it checked somehow.

Oh geez, Debra. That sounds awful. I suppose FM could affect your swallowing

muscles. I think you should get this checked out if it continues. It's too scary

to ignore.

I get pills stuck on something in the back of my throat. The little ones will

get stuck and I can't get them to go down unless I swallow some food or a larger

pill. I can't understand what they get caught up on. My family thinks my

tonsils, but that doesn't seem right. It feels right in the center of the

throat, like where the epiglottis is. Know I probably spelled that wrong. That's

what the flap is called that blocks the trachia when we swallow, right?

Anyway, I hope your swallowing trouble goes away. Take care.

Morning my friends. I just got up and woke up earlier than usual. I was hurting

and my stomach is upset and have terrible allergies making my stomach sick from

the post nasal drip.. Sorry. And I feel like a pile of crapola.

Anyway, a question. I choked last night on some popcorn. A piece of it went into

my trachea and I think into my lung. OUCH. I coughed and coughed so hard I was

turning purple... scared my little 6 year old too. My husband who is usually not

very interested in anything about how I feel, got alarmed. He ran over there

hollaring " are you Ok " ? Well, I never completely shut off my airway and after

about 5 minutes of horrible deep coughing it came up I think. It was a very tiny

piece luckily.

MY Question- Do any of you notice at times that you don't swallow the right

way????????? ????????? ????????? ??

I believe that this fibro or whatever it is interferes with my swallowing

muscles. I find that almost everyday I almost choke on something like soda, a

piece of food, or my own saliva. It is not everytime I eat or drink, but is

happening more and more frequent. Last night was the most severe and the closest

I have come to really cutting off my airway. Hubby of course ran over and

started hitting me on the back. (not the right thing to do but he was trying to

help).

DO YOU THINK THIS BEAST OF A DISEASE affects our swallowing at times?

Of course, the heimlich maneuver whould have been the thing to do IF I stopped

moving air. I was still moving air of course because I was coughing.

love and hugs,
