I'm sorry I can't help you. I am however interested in the answers you get. I had my bi lateral ND on Mar2. I still don't swollow. I can manage water, sometimes. Everything else and it sounds like I'm drowning. I go to my first therapy appt. this Thurs. Now I spoke to the head of my local H&N sport group who happens to be a speach therapist. She is also the person that intervined and got me into therapy. She told me in an email that I should see improvement with in a few weeks. She doesn't know this but I am holding her to that time frame!
Good luck,
Amy
