Choking... A symptom of fibro?? I think so

[Guest guest]

It only stands to reason that if fibro affects the skeletal muscles, it probably

affects the other muscles of the body also.  So, it probably affects the

esophagus too.  And let them tell me " it cannot kill you " .... BS.  They just

have not come far enough to figure it out completely. 

Although, I do not feel that my swallowing problem is really bad enough right

now to worry about.  It is isolated incidences and I usually don't choke that

bad.

I've always had to wash down my food - meaning I have to drink when I eat.

Otherwise I feel like I'm choking, I get the hiccups, etc. I've done that for as

long as I can remember. My parents used to try that nothing to drink until you

eat your food and it never worked with me because if I didn't have something to

drink I couldn't eat more than 3 bites of food. I know my older brother is the

same way, I don't know about my younger brother.
