Hi ed,
I also decided to have a feeding tube, PEG, inserted early. Have bulbar. For me I was having trouble swallowing, especially water, started using thickner and was glad I did the tube so to keep calories at a good amount. A nutritionist spoke to me after the procedure to let me know what amount I needed. The procedure went well, pain normally associated with such a procedure. Wise to have it before other functions become impaired.
Hope this helps. Keep us posted.
God bless, kc
