swallow

Lately, I've noticed a difference when I swallow. I'm limb onset and have not had any problems with swallowing or eating. Now, at times, it kind of feels mushy when I swallow. Especially in the morning. And, I've had several occasions where saliva will just slide down the wrong pipe if I'm...

Hey everyone. So a few years ago I was convinced I had ALS, and one of the only things that calmed me down was coming to forums like this and reading about other people's experiences. Although intellectually I knew it was most likely my anxiety causing the symptoms, it's hard not to panic when...
