    Hello 

    Im currently under hospital about my throat as my food to me gets stuck when they say everything is fine and blame anxiety. I wondered if it could be my M.E but they said no. Iv just had camera down throat and biopsy from stomach to see if its a rare condition hope you get answers yourself its so frustrating i feel sick all the time and am sick alot too. X

      So sorry to hear that, I’ve heard that m.e patients have been known to have swollowing problems. It is so frustrating that when you have a new symptom with this condition because they can’t come up with a medical solution then it must be anxiety. Hope you get some answers too.

    Hi Sara

    I have fibro and CFS. I find swallowing food difficult at times and always have to drink with a meal. I find bread worse but have to eat fairly slowly.

    It doesn’t happen all the time though.

    Perhaps a GP appt is necessary ? Good luck

    Yes I have had swallowing problems. I’ve only just had CFS diagnosed after being tired for years.  I’ve had choking problems when I was eating so have had various tests, investigations and a throat operation where tubes were widened and I haven’t had a proper choking episode since.  I do have other medical conditions that might be more connected to it than CFS, but I was interested to read your comment!
