So i have been searching these forums for around 3 months now. I was reluctant to do so because of all the responses people usually get on here like " you dont have ALS" " stop asking Dr Google." And honestly even while reading some of those posts i thought to...
For 3 years my wife has fought with everything she has to make ALS take things from her. Anything that could help make life easier was pushed to the side until it was the only option left. Her PWC sat as a dust collector for seven months, although for the last month, she was being pushed around...

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...
