Does anyone have trouble swallowing medicine due to weak muscles in the throat? It doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally. Just wondering if it is just me, or is it common among those with lupus and other autoimmune diseases.

I sometimes have trouble swallowing food. At first I thought the food was maybe over cooked & therefore dry. But that wasn't it, so I looked into it & found that lupus can cause it. So maybe talk to your RA & doc about it.
