Hi everyone hopping you'll are doing great. I now have to go to a speech therapist, at time's I can't swallow or it hurts to swallow. Food gets stuck, or the little flap that covers the wind pipe when you swallow it gets stuck and I can't breath out!! I feel like there's a lump in my throat and I want to swallow all the time it does hurt worse when it's dry.

I have a dry throat, from RA, and have found that keeping breathe mints, Popsicles, made with fruit juice and fluids like, Pediolyte on hand keep it under control. Good Luck with your Speech Theraphy, it helped my daughter a lot.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is primarily known for affecting the joints, but it can also have systemic effects, including on the lungs and related structures. While the provided context does not specifically mention a sore throat as a symptom of RA, it does discuss conditions such as Sjögren’s syndrome, which is associated with RA and can cause dry mouth. This dryness could potentially lead to a sensation of a dry throat. However, if you're experiencing a very dry throat that makes it hard to swallow or breathe, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have several episodes sometimes a day but it happens too many times and I wish that I could find something to stop it so I can at least feel 'normal'

I have had that exact problem with my throat but then I found out I have Diabetes and it causes extreme thirst. So I try to stay hydrated. I have had the problem you mentioned where it feels like your food is cutting your throat, My sympathies,

You're right, when I told Mt primary Dr she didn't feel like it wasn't that important. I'm now going to a speech therapist to practice swollening, making sounds with my voice. Sometimes I talk talk like Beeker one of th Moffitt or like the God Father, when I talk my speech skips vocals sounds its fustrating and makes me angry because I have to repeat myself ugggh. It's very annoying.
I did text my Dr and Rumotolgist. I just have to wait for a answer on Monday.
Have a great evening, good night 😴
GOD BLESS
