yes! I take the longest time chewing my food so it turned smooth. I have a hard time with swallowing, but thank God I had someone, when I'm the hospital, to show me some throat and vocal exercises!

@cobou I’ve had the balloon dilation in the throat , which worked for awhile, but I kept choking even on smooth/blended , they are saying this is connected to the MS, as muscles in oesophagus dnt work properly but not yet met/spoke to anyone in same boat
