Good evening Forum;

I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with electrical stimulation of their throat and related muscles to facilitate improved swallowing. I have just been made aware of this treatment, and although I understand it is somewhat controversial in nature, I am interested in anything that can help rid me of the feeding tube.

I would appreciate any information or suggestion whatsoever, and thank you in advance for your reply.

Sincerely,
JT2
