The reflux and heartburn may or may not be realated to the MS. You can get prescriptions to help with the heartburn...or buy OTC ones like Prevacid, etc. I go for the prescription since the insurance pays a good part and they're cheaper for me. LOL

Yes. I'm with you.
I'm on Prescription for heartburn.
Swallowing I find cut food smaller. Concentrate on chewing a bit longer and swallow smaller pieces. Works for me. So far. But I know as it gets worse there are other treatments out there. Best of luck.
Emphatically YES!! I am on a generic for Previcid because I have acid reflux so bad. I also have a hard time swallowing, especially spaghetti noodles. My throat at this moment feels like it is shrinking, closing in. I attributed this feeling to my thyroid surgery back in 2008, but it hasn't gotten any better. I often go into coughing spells because I've inhaled crumbs. It's awful.
all the time.. constant
I am also taking a prescription called ranitadine or generic zantac which seems to help with keeping the heartburn from starting
