MS and swallowing difficulties: How do you cope with this symptom?

Hi everyone,

Some people living with MS experience trouble swallowing (dysphagia), which can make mealtimes stressful or even dangerous. It can lead to coughing, choking, or fear of eating in front of others.

✨ Let's share and support each other on this often invisible issue.

• Have you experienced swallowing difficulties with MS?
• What adjustments have you made to feel safer while eating or drinking?
• Have you spoken with a specialist, like a speech therapist, for support?
