Book Description

You're having difficulty swallowing, then. You avoid eating in public or experience anxiety when it comes to meals. Perhaps you've been told you can only eat or drink thick liquids and chopped up foods, that you require a feeding tube, or that you will never be able to eat or drink again. What do you think? You're not by yourself. Not at all. An estimated ten million Americans are evaluated annually for dysphagia, or swallowing disorders. However, given how commonplace it is, why does it feel so unsettling, frightening, and lonely?

It contains self-care tools, motivational quotes, and priceless advice from other patients. It's been said that those with first-hand knowledge offer the best advice.
