Jim,

My husband had to learn to swallow again, twice. Once after cancer treatment, and then again after stroke.
After the stroke he couldnt swallow at all. He had speech/swallowing therapy again but very little progress. His mouth was also drooping on one side. The therapist wanted to try the Vital Stim machine on my husband. She said she had some good results with it. She used it on his mouth for the drooping mouth and on his neck for swallowing. It did work on the drooping mouth. His drop of his lip is very slight now. My husband thought it helped with his swallowing. While using this treatment he began to swallow. Who knows for sure if it worked with the swallowing or not, but my husband swears he could swallow better once he stared treatment.
He went 3x a week for I think 4 or 5 weeks, sorry cant really remember.
Maybe worth looking into. Cant hurt...
Hope this helps,
Cheryl
