Re: swallowing (and drooling) problems

[Guest guest]

I tend to choke a lot more but getting food 'stuck'

halfway down doesn't sound me a CMT issue to me??? Of

course, I don't know that for a fact. I've just been

told that sometimes dulled sensations in the throat

might keep you from being aware of where the food is

in

your mouth and you can choke. I think that gag reflex

may be affected as well?

Seems to me like if you gotten it into the throat, it

wouldn't be a nerve problem causing problems at that

point??

On a similar note...sort of...I've noticed that I've

started drooling a bit more recently (and my mother

has

as well). Sounds worse than it is. I just have more

moisture at the corner of the lip sometimes when I'm

tired or stressed. Any CMT connection?

I have exactly the same problem with drooling! The way you described it is

exactly as I would have.
