Diane, I have had tons of swallowing tests. This thing I described doesn't happen all that often and has never happened during the swallowing test. I'm sure if it did, they could see why but I can't get it to happen at will.

Minnie, yeah, I am still grining up my thyroid pill (and my other pills--Tamoxifen and Salagen) and flushing them through the tube. I have tried and tried to swallow the thyroid pill (like you say, it is so tiny) and it just doesn't work. I guess if I want to get off the tube entirely I'll have to learn how to take those pills in a drink or something....

But I will try to relax my mouth and throat and swallow again right away. Maybe that will help.
