Hello. I had posted a year ago when this started but my thread is closed. It has been a little over a year since my swallowing problems started. To recap: 2 weeks of allergy like symptoms with hoarseness and losing my voice. I had twitching bodywide which I believe is anxiety or mineral deficiency realated. My swallowing problem is the palate and tongue not sealing and causing fluid to go into back of nose. It started with food and drink but now is just drink.
Anyhow, I have had 2 swallowing studies a year apart, an emg of limbs and tongue early this year, seen my neuro twice and 2 ENTs.
1st swallowing study was normal. Most recent showed mild nasopharyngeal reflux which is exactly what I'm feeling. My emg was good at that time.
My neuro says no ALS, and I believed him for many months but now I'm not sure with my most recent ENT visit who says everything is working right, it's neurological, see your neurologist.
I have adapted my swallowing so I can do it effectively but can no longer "chug" or "gulp". It has never gone away but seems better than when it started, but that may be my adaptation. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
