Swallowing and choking

I’m just entering the crap gap and things are beginning to get worse or return. Swallowing is complicated and I’m getting upset. I hear from many people that their swallowing is tricky, that they (like me) seem to breathe in too soon and choke, or swallow saliva the wrong way and choke, or whatever. But the experts don’t seem to be listening. I was referred for speech and language therapy but because I wasn’t choking right then and there, they didn’t believe me. They made me feel like I was wasting their time, gave me a bit of paper on what I should and shouldn’t eat and sent me on my way. I was so embarrassed. It’s really bothering me and I don’t know how else to tell them that it’s a problem. Just having a vent. Sorry to be a misery guts 😑

Happens to me a few times as well. I either swallow air or spit, it goes down the wrong pipe and I start coughing like crazy. Taking pills, medicine or vitamins I use apple sauce to help aid in swallowing. Apple sauce is good but it is pretty annoying. No need to worry about the venting.

Nice to know I’m not alone, even though I wish none of us had to go through it ❤️
