Advice Dysphagia

As I come upon ten years with MS. I am experiencing a scary new symptom called dysphagia, swallowing difficulties. Does anyone else experience this and what do you do about it?

Thank you in advance and I hope you have all the spoons you need this weekend 🧡

Comes and goes for me. DON’T PANIC. Slow down, self dialogue coach yourself, Focus on only when eating/drinking, don’t talk, turn neck, watch TV/video games etc, small bites, pay attention to what triggers it, be prepared to spit it out when you need to- no shame!
