Clinic speak: dysphagia survey results

Swallowing problems in MSers; commoner than I expected. #ClinicSpeak #MSBlog #MSResearch

"I note the post on swallowing problems from the 18th June is still very popular. The following are the survey results. It is interesting that most neurologists don't discuss this with their patients. I suspect they don't want to tell you about how bad MS can get and would prefer you to find out about it later in the course of the disease. What is quite surprising is that quite a few of you have symptoms suggestive of swallowing problems. Could this be another issue I am failing to address in my routine MS practice? I must admit I don't ask every MSer each time I see them about swallowing problems."
