Can you tell me is having trouble swallowing food a symptom of ms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual: If you have swallowing difficulties, would consider many other conditions instead, such as motor neuron disease, myasthenia gravis, polymyositis, guillain-barre, botulism, cidp, and structural esophageal lesions.
