Guys
I’ve had transverse myelitis since March 2012 and was slowly on the mend, left mainly with muscle pain and extreme fatugue - enough to keep me off work.
So I’m not diagnosed with ms but I became unwell a couple of weeks ago, back to being practically bedridden and began experiences eating difficulties during that time;
-
unable to empty mouth of food during swallowing
-
food entering windpipe and choking whilst eating
-
lost my gag reflex
As I became “better” in around 8 days after seeing my GP who gave me a high dose of antivirals.
I thought all the swallowing issues had gone away as I got better, however I had a little food come back up last night after finishing a meal which caused me to really choke again.
Two questions really on my mind…
-
Does this sound like an ms relapse and
-
Does anyone know if the quick improvement in my health was due to the antivirals??
Many thanks, Gill
