Is there anyone out there who has suffered with swallowing problems since they started with fibro?I have been having problems for a while and the other day I seemed to completely lose the ability to swallow.It lasted only for a few minutes and then came back gradually over about half an hour.
yes i do its like i cant remember how to do it its frighting luckly it doesent happen often , if you lower your chin to your chest i find it is easier .
i also find i cant talk and eat at the same time as i tend to choke a lot easier than before the fibro .
Hi Lily, I also have trouble choking/coughing often when I eat, so I'm very conscious when eating..also I get muscle spasm in my chin area which can be very scary, as I can't breath through my mouth,,,but it's fine after a minute or even seconds.but that not too often-.apparently it something I do, but don't know what it is. I get muscle cramps and spasms all the time in my legs etc...rotten Fibro.....hope you get some comfort and you are encouraged that your not on your own ..:-)
Thanks for your reply tiswas24537.That is exactly what happened to me!
Thanks for your reply christine26761.I also get muscle spasms all over my body.Some of them so bad that they pull my limbs into completely unnatural positions and extemely painful!
Hi Lily, I also have swallowing problems. My tablets get stuck in my throught and have made me vomit a few times. I have found the easiest way is to take one at a time with a spoonful of yoghurt. When i eat i have to take a mouthful of water after each bite. hope this helps.
Thanks Sandra! Any advice is gratefully received.
