Swallowing Difficulties
Original Post: I’m having difficulty swallowing lately I even choke on my own saliva. I'm afraid to eat by myself. Does this happen to anyone else?
Additional Post: From the European Polio Union- Swallowing issues are a common complaint in polio survivors and especially those with PPS. It is well documented in medical circles and support group publications, web sites and journals on management and treatment of PPS.
Dr. Bruno’s Response: Polio survivors often have trouble with saliva (especially during sleep) or taking a sip of water often even if they don't have trouble with thicker liquids or even food.
Note: It's not a precursor of more swallowing problems. See your doctor.
