I want to thank those of you who posted comments to my query about difficulty swallowing. One of the problems with a rare disease process is that there are all kinds of "little symptoms" that, until they actually become a crisis, are disregarded by the medical profession. Hearing similar experiences from others who have the illness is extremely helpful and most of all, validating, when one is struggling with a chronic illness.

My 15 y/o daughter who has POTS complains of difficulty swallowing. She says it's been going on for a month or so. She says that it takes "more effort" than normal to swallow. Nothing gets stuck, but she perceives swallowing as more difficult than before. Anybody know about this?

My daughter stopped taking the 0.1 mg Florinef because it was making her feel "crazy." We are looking into other things. The notes on decongestants has me thinking, because she takes Zyrtec D twice a day. I'm calling the allergist!
