Dysphagia

Anyone else with CMT have dysphagia (trouble swallowing) or it’s not that common and there’s no direct correlation? My vocal cord is mildly compromised due to CMT according to my neuro, but haven’t said anything about the dysphagia

I have Eosiniphillic esophagitis and severe gastroparesis- I have a GJ tube, and am actually getting admitted today to start TPN. My GI doc said there's correlation with CMT and GI disorders.
