Re: JUST GOT SARPE/ WHY CAN'T I SWALLOW

February 22, 2005

It really is hard to get used to the expander in the beginning. Just

hang in there, I remember when I had it that I also had a hard time

talking and swallowing. It really does get better!! When your mouth

is used to it, it won't produce that much saliva anymore, which will

make it easier to talk and you won't have to swallow that much

anymore. With me it took about 1 or 2 weeks before my saliva

production was back to normal. It will stay hard to eat, just take

little bites (I lost some wait because I just didn't have enough

patience to eat slowly so I just ate half of what I would normally

eat).

Any more questions, let me know.

believe it or not, though, most people find that they don't even

notice the danged thing by the time it comes out.

It must be most difficult to get used to it, though, and you have my

sympathies! Just keep plugging...
