Swallowing difficulty

Hi “herself”,
I too have Lewis-Summer variant. The CIDP hit my autonomic system, and hit the swallowing/digestive process. They did that “Swallow Test” where I ate and drank different substances and watched it on the flouroscope where the food would go down then back up to where the windpipe is.
My neuro. is trying a pill, “Mestinon” on me, of which I have been on it now for about 6 months. It is a pill used for Myesthenia Gravis, but sends impulses to the swallowing process. It does seem to help some, though I must watch what I eat or drink, as I especially choke on liquids.
