Hi,

I FEEL LIKE THERE IS NO END TO THE EFFECT'S OF THIS HORRIBLE ILLNESS !!!

yes,I sometimes have a choking feeling and it is scary. I try to eat slower and that has helped.

Yes iv mentioned this to him but i feel like im talking to a brick wall Christine.He said to me its the fibro like every other thing i go up an tell them.I had to tell them i want to see a neroligest because i havnt seen one from being dignosed in 2004,I go in the 14th here so i mite mention it to them as im jus gettn fed up being told constanly every thing is fibro :-((

To tell you the truth im begin to sound like a broken record to myself so i give up..

I experience this quite a lot and my GP gave me a nasal spray as my sinus's are inflamed, not helped though. Apparently I've also started snoring as well!

I'm off back to GP this week so will update with any more treatment

I have been choking a lot for the last few months whilst eating, just blamed a lot of it on my really dry mouth caused by the meds, but it is frightening

Hi all, yes I too suffer the totally parched throat, especially at night, yes it's frightening to wake up coughing. Eating now is getting a lot more difficult, swallowing is harder. Fun this Fibro isn't it.....not :{
