Dysphagia

wittyGrapes7678 August 19th, 2022

I'm suddenly struggling with dysphagia. I have an appointment with a doctor soon to look into it. But it's upended my life. I'm feeling very alone and hopeless. Every day is a struggle now.

@wittyGrapes7678 I hope you get answers soon! Is it with foods, liquids or both?

Thanks. It's with foods. I can consume drinks, smoothies, thin soups.

I've been so impatient and cranky lately. Especially with driving. I think it's because the stress and the struggle to get enough nutrition. I've lost like 20lbs in a short amount of time. I do need to lose weight but not like this. I know I need to chill out but I don't know how. I'm trying to listen to calming music, take deep breaths and do a little yoga but I'm still very cranky.
