Nelie:
I had similar problems with everything you described.  I'm much better now, I wrote you before.  I don't remember asking you or if you mentioned that you had hyperberic oxygen treatments.  I had 29 and they cleared up the strictures in my throat.  With a number of dilitations and doing the shaker exercise, I can eat just about anything, although I still have to drink water to 'get it down'.
