    Hello All I posted twice about four months ago, see here (1st thread) and here (2nd thread, GP follow-up). About a week after I last posted I developed dysphagia, all of a sudden I aspirated saliva, water, coffee, but not food. I had to cough up saliva or drink that should have gone past the...

    Update on Neurologist's Appointment As Requested [He won't Order an EMG; I have some Clonus]

He said he didn't want me to get stressed out over some incidental findings which might be unrelated to any serious pathology... He told me about a time when...
