Because this is such a common issue with those of us treated, and it has such quality of life issues, it is very important to me personally, and to OCF in general. We have put up material that is based on a CME course on dysphasia on the OCF main site. I would like to know a couple of things. How many of you that are answering this little poll have read it, what you think of it, and if you would be interested in writing a "patients perspective" on the issue as a continuation of the information on that page.

Charm - as a very analytical thinker, I wonder if you in particular would be involved in writing this patients perspective which might take the form of various name and comments/observations for individuals in a list form, or might be an edited composite of patients perspective of which I would like you to be the person that takes all the comments and creates a "composite patients perspective" from them. The information is here
