Re: Difficulty with eating/swallowing

It is interesting that you find yourself dreading eating, like sort of an aversion reaction is setting in. The more you anticipate it, the worse it gets. A vicious cycle.
Is there something new in your life that would account for this? Is it related to new drugs or treatment?
Maybe a short round of anti-anxiety meds would help get you over the hump. It must be comforting to know Carolyn understands. That is what makes this site so valuable!
Let us know what you find out. Keep the faith
