Eating and progression

[vivdunstan]

Could happily have done without one of my appalling choking fits while eating at dinner. They're becoming more frequent. Especially likely when I'm extra confused or overloaded cognitively. But can happen at any time. I'll have to mention them to the rheumatologist next time I speak to her, along with the extremely frequent now forgetfulness and losing things. My neurological disease is progressing more and more with time. But since I've lived with it for 30 years, and we managed to slow it down a lot, I'm grateful to be coping as well as I am.

I hope that you can find a way to make it easier.

Thank you! It prompted me to have a serious talk with Martin about how much I need more help when at my worst, to try to avoid getting to the choking stage. So that was good! And adopting other strategies to help.

I'm glad it was a good conversation. Fingers crossed the strategies work.
