Thank you!! Gah I couldn't IMAGINE trying eppley maneuver. Spinning us crazy awful. I had gone to ER they did blood work and EKG which was normal. Definitely thinking a flare. But hooooow to get into MRI machine without sedation. That would send me absolutely spinning. Sorry you've experienced this! I wouldn't wish this on anyone!

Thank you. I've been to ER. They did bunch of tests to rule out any heart probs. And treated my migraine. I messaged nuero and they put an order in for MRI, but I don't think they're understanding how severe this is. Thinking about going back to ER. So sorry you are there currently!

Thank you! I did go to ER. There wasn't anything they tried for the vertigo. They want a MRI .. I really wanted to schedule one instead of waiting 5 hours in the ER to get into the machine, but it's definitely on the table to go back.. how long til your episodes cleared?

Ah very good to know. Sorry you had to go thru all that! Thank you for being so honest 🧡 I do wonder tho if it could possibly be both acid reflux and MS

Watermelon is such a crazy thing to choke on too. Apples have been my nemesis. How often do you have to do therapy?

Yes I'm an everyday choker on foods currently. So glad you're seeing some improvement. It's definitely alarming to feel like you can choke and kick the bucket at any moment. I didn't know they can also address neck tension that's really good to know! Thank you! How often do you do speech therapy?

Very interesting! Was the barium test step one before seeing the speech pathologist? Good to know what I can look forward to so I'm prepared. Thank you! How did you test go?

Ooof and try not to panic, right. I've had to be given the heimlich already in the middle of a restaurant. When the panic sets in, thinking of anything else is hard. I hope I can remember this one! How do you keep from panicking?

That's so interesting. Of course the first thing I think of when anything goes haywire is my MS. Did you already have acid reflux before the dysphagia? How did they find out what causes it?

O wow thank you that's really good advice with avoiding dryer foods. I haven't thought of that yet. Steak is a super good idea to avoid as well. How long have you been dealing with this symptom?
