A member asked:
Is it possible that not only did the botox paralyze my swallowing but can my cerebral palsy made it worse since it's 10 months and now i'm on a peg?

Botox: Not sure where it was injected but wears off so unlikely. Discuss your management plan with your doctor before getting anymore. All the best and I'm sorry you're worse.

Additional: I would also suggest evaluation of esophageal and autoimmune disease.
