Steve,
I am 11 years out from diagnosis and am scheduled to start "Swallowing Boot Camp" next month. I am working with a SLP for a two week, one hour a day program to help me tune up the muscles in my throat to work food down the tube. Not exactly sure what it is going to entail other than they said "hard work." Guess this will go along with "no pain, no gain"?? Anyway, don't give up and get a referral to see a SLP! They have some tricks up their sleeves! :-)
