Hello everybody, I have recently been diag with SS to complement my existing MS and this was discovered whilst investigating my ten years of swallowing problems.
Whilst many people describe swallow difficulties, mine occur both with coordination of the swallow due to the dryness but also down in the oesaphagus where food lodges and has remained for up to 24 hrs (accompanied by vigorous dry reaching and dehydration).
This has often had to be resolved by removal of the food under anaesthetic. My medical professionals appear divided in their opinion on the relationship between this condition and SS as there is little documented evidence of food blockages requiring removal assoc. to SS.
If anyone has similar experiences with SS I would love to hear from them. Thanks
