Hi,
My wife Debbie has MS and her swallowing problems are now getting worse.
We are looking for some people who have had a peg feed fitted to talk to. We just want to know issues and problems or if they recomend having a peg feed fitted.
We are in Manchester but also have skype etc.

Hi, My husband has been peg fed for over 5 years now.At first he was still having a few soft foods when he felt able to swallow,with back up with the peg. … but now he has everthing via peg, The peg is very easy to use,you will get help from the nutricianal nurses as much as you need to feel confident with it,and there is always backup and support from this
team,However if you are the main carer ,like me ,it is very difficult to find carers who are trained to do this if you need a break ,.Your wife is the only person who can decide if she wants to go down this line,I wish you well and I hope this post is of help.
Just wanna wish you good luck.
