david,

I have to say that the thickened fluids and the neck exercises have really helped...At least that is the way it feels, much less aspirating, not gone but significantly better. I use a product called simplythick in most of the fluid I drink. Not coffee or beer though. You can find it on line.

Like Ed, I am learning to deal with it,bit by bit

If you find any wizards at UCLA let me know. We all have to find the solutions on these tough ones.

You can PM me and I will give you more info on the thickening routine.

Steve
