zac,

I had the barium swallow. It showed what I already knew - some miscoordination with swallowing. EMT thought it might be due to some arthritic changes in C4. Turned out to be bulbar-onset ALS.

janf, I used to have it even before this illness, don't lie down soon after eating it will make it worse [at least that's the way it is with me] the valve that controls acid relux is a muscle so it is affected by als, but not with everyone. Barry
