    The ability to swallow my food seems to come and go. I do notice dipping my chin towards my chest while attempting to swallow does not work as well anymore.  Olives usually are a problem for me.  Do you have swallowing issues?  Is it related to specific foods?

    I do have trouble swallowing food, as well as finding it difficult to swallow my saliva.  My throat feels blocked. My tongue feels thick and large so I wind up biting the insides of my mouth and sides of my tongue.
