Does anyone have issues swallowing? Even just my own saliva is difficult to swallow sometimes. And i get the esophogeal spasms all the time. Both my internist and rheumy say i present for scleroderma and i know this is a symptom of it but does anyone else without a scleroderma diagnosis experience this?

yes, I do sometimes Nicolle. For me, it's allergies. I drink water clutching my teeth & it all goes down. I don't take anything, just water. Could be mucus build up, who knows. Hope you can get some relief soon. Tea helps.
Sending swallowing prayers. x
