Jessica, have you heard about the vibration glove therapy? Please research Dr Peter Tass at Stanford University.
Steve, you are amazing. Keep pushing on my friend.
Ty for sharing 😊 I learned a lot on this segment. Several years ago I had a sudden inability to swallow It lasted for a week or so. Now I know why 👍

What exercises can I do for the swallowing issues. Nothing showed up on the modified barium swallow, though at this point my issues are. The speech therapist set me free with nothing to do. This bothers me as I most certainly want to be preventive or in reality slow the progress. Swallowing in my experience is a major impediment to getting the proper nutrition. Also socializing as I drive people crazy with how slow I eat. It is of course also an issue of comfort... and safety as I can choke on just water or saliva.

Hi Heather, The swallowing exercise I do is: I stick my tongue out between my front teeth an inch or so. Then while gently clamping down on my tongue with my teeth, I swallow 10 - 15 times. This was pretty challenging to begin with, but I got better at it as time passed. You should check with an ENT specialist for your particular condition...it really helped me. Good luck!
I get tired of trying to talk and keep quiet for long periods of time. Is that bad?
