Great song that characterizes the struggles facing some people with severe dysphagia. Thank you NFOSD for the education and support you provide hopefully leading to better treatments.

so validating . .. made me cry . . I shared it with my family

What a great anthem. Love it!!

Love this!!! 🩵

I got an upper endoscopy that showed nothing interesting but I feel like a golf ball is in the middle of my chest all the time and it hurts. It been a year. I wish my dr would listen. I have been on ppi this whole time and it's stll the same.

Wow, what a great message.

I’ve had dysphagia for 4 months and it really makes me want to end it all

I pray to God they push this to the front & push all resources, studies & research to rapidly improve progress, treatments & therapies.

I'm a nurse but currently a speech path student and although I've worked in the neuro ward with patients that were post TIAs and strokes I was always just the one stabilizing but never the one doing therapies and actively helping improve their quality of life. I'm so excited to be a part of people's longer journey in their health.

Awareness of Vaxxx side effects is important too.

i agree thus is a dissorder ive had it for years since i was in 5th grade]

I have diffeercult swallowing

My son has being going this over a year now since his car accident not being able to swallow any solids everything must be blender at 30 years old nut doctors cannot find what is wrong with him this is very depressing and frustrating for my son and myself

Dear Gaffigans, You always bring joy, healing and compassion in every aspect of your lives ! Thank you for continuing to inspire with you signature blessing of humor! Cindy Davis

I’m 29 years old and am extremely underweight at 90lbs. I am living off of nutritional shakes and water. No solid foods whatsoever. The fear of choking and vomiting are real and I can’t seem to conquer it. This just breaks my heart seeing people go through through this like me. It’s frustrating. I just want solid foods again. It just feels like a never ending pattern. No one understands unless they have gone through it or are helping others going through it. 💔

Dysphasia is hard to deal with some days. The worst is when it affects your speech.Please be compassionate people. I'm not a threat.

I know this video is from 9 years ago. My swallowing troubles began suddenly 2 years ago. I then was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis but despite treatment for it my swallowing has continued to worsen. I am now at liquids. A tuna can from Aldi requires 2 L of water and I always risk choking so I just have found it's not worth it. There is more to life than food though that's what you learn. Right now I am just hoping I never have to get a feeding tube. I've put on weight which is good but I won't have an easy time if I start to have issues with clear liquids. And I'm only 29 (just turned 29) and that scares me as I know not being able to drink water is the last step for me if I continue to get worse. Then I'll basically be on life support. I know some people with feeding tubes can still sometimes drink but for me I don't think any drink would go in at that point so it would have to be pretty bad for me to get one. The video really resonates with me especially socializing and how you focus on your swallowing so much. But we can't let it consume us. Work helps keep me occupied. It would be nice to have more extensive videos on this but I know it's so rare and it's quite sad so probably can't watch more than the time here.

Can you please help my mother because i can't afford taking care of her especially now that she's diagnosed with dysphagia 😢

I was just diagnosed with dysphagia I started to eat puree foods but then I thought about it,,, puree foods ? Why do we have teeth? to chew So I don't puree my food anymore I just chew it real good with some gravy or some kinda sauce its actually tastier. And I love puddings and tapioca so my food really hasn't changed too much let's all look on the brighter side of things we can do this 👍keep your hope up . I know people have worse dysphagia so enjoy the things you can eat even if it's a lil . We all have to live and wake up everyday cherish each day with our loved ones. don't let it get you down people trust God to see you through each day and live 1 day at a time. Jesus said don't worry 1 day has enough worry of its own don't think about tomorrows problems live day by day and don't let it stop you from enjoying life eat out with friends just explain to them your condition trust me they understand and order what you can eat and enjoy their company it's not all about food but being with the ones you love and the beautiful day God has made. God bless you prayers are with you 🙏

Thank you to whomever created this documentary and for posting it. I am a graduate student studying speech language pathology. I am currently in my Dysphagia class. Learning the material is extremely dense but watching this documentary reminds me of my WHY to keep studying and seek real understanding about Dysphagia, and how to help others with it. It's puts so much into perspective. I may share this with my professor so for next years cohort - she can have them watch this documentary and truly understand the importance to have knowledge in this class.

As a speech therapist, I really appreciate Jeannie Gaffigan sharing this with us!

Mine crept up on me around 11. Now in my 50s. Think it was brought on after emergency stomach pumping at the age of about 7 or 8. Remember gagging badly as the nurses put the tubes down. I think this acted as some kind of mental trigger

😔😭😩I'm so sorry that these types of issues literally disable babies, kids, etc. It's heart wrenching to see how much they suffer.

I'm going on two years with this problem some days are good are some are horrible

Incredible documentary.

I have Had Swallowing issues at Around 28 Years old , BUT I Was Born with ( Hypotonia ) I Was on a G-Tube as a TINY Baby I still have the Mark of where the Tube was places I'm Having Swallowing issues Every 3 Year's I have to Have my Esophagus Widened Almost 3 Every Year's . It's been Done Twice , and THE Next time The Dr Said He wants me to to Have Another Swallow Study Done . I have ( Recurring Dysphagia ) Swallowing issues happen at Random time, I've been eating Things like Soups , EASY To Swallow foods , Spaghetti O's Mac & Cheese , I had a Swallowing Study when I was 12 Years old , no real issues then , not it's Been happening for a Few Years . My Muscles and Joints are Weaker because of my ( Hypotonia) Is just another Issue that I Was Born with, am Trying to live with .

Thank you! I am a speech path and work with lots of folks with dysphagia. I will keep this wonderful video to share with patients and their families and caregivers. Because who does not LOVE Jim Gaffigan, and Jeannie!

Thank you for sharing your story :)

This makes me cry so much. I've always had problems swallowing ever since I was 9 and now I'm 23 years old. I feel most of the emotions these people talk about and it makes me feel like I'm not alone even though this disease happens so often yet it is never really talked about. Thank you for whoever made this documentary

I have had horrible anxiety for years especially 2020, had this cough hurt my throat since then had on and off achyness when intalk and eat....fast-forward to now this week all of a sudden having trouble swallowing I feel my mouth is super dry almost all the time, tongue spasms, I hesitate when I swallow and hurts going down. I have trouble swallowing pills so now I crush them or get powered or liquid meds for years. When I have swallowed my pill which is small but still feels huge to me I can crush it and swallow with water or whatever. Have had trouble for years downing it but its for my anxiety twice a day I have to take it so its important. I get anxiety attacks just taking them and til I get then down then I gradually calm down. That same feeling I get now with food I hesitate, have to be careful afraid of choking, seeing an ent tomorrow. Feels like there's something in my throat at times, not sure whats wrong with me if it's part mental part physical....but I feel like my chance at a normal life is over 😔🙁

watch this video, it might be helpful to you this 91 year old grandpa suffered dysphagia and mild stroke for two weeks, doctor certified that he had limited time but he managed to eat and swallow solid food after 1 day ua-cam.com/video/6XtNqZLBJAM/v-deo.html

Thank you to whoever did this video. It is so important. My teen son had dysphagia caused by a dysfunction in the muscle by his pharynx. So many people in his life, family and friends, would dismiss it as a stress related or emotional problem, despite the fact that he lost a lot of weight. Luckily doctors did not dismiss it. He had surgery a few months ago which has helped a lot.

Dysphagia is caused by the upper esophogeal sphincter not functioning properly, whereas Achalasia is caused by the lower esphogeal sphincter not functioning properly (opening). Though opposite sphincters, they both cause difficulty with food/drink going down.

The thing is Idk if I have this condition or not bc I’ve been to the ER, doctors, ENT, and Gaslertigious person. But none of them have diagnosed me with this , but swallowing has been difficult for me for like 3 months and my throat gets a lot of build up from salvia, even after I drink water.

I've had dysphagia for about 5 years now. About a year ago I discovered a way for me to swallow food using an inversion table. After chewing my food I lean back on the inversion table to the point where I'm slightly in an upside down position and that allows the food to fall to the back of my throat making it possible for me to swallow. However this method only works for food and not liquids.

i.m crying for the love of my life we cannot afford the therapy any more.he hates the feeding tube.he wants it out.he has aspiration symptoms.i am afraid he will die of aspiration pneumonia. please pray for us. . i am ashamed to ask for help. \

I look normal I walk normal I talk normal but yet I am on the G tub .

Back in 2010 I couldn't swallow at all I was eating French fires at A&W then for some reason i couldn't swallow for some reason after having this problem for 1mouth I went to the doctor found out I have dysphasia so I lived with it for 8 years I feel a bit better i just cannot eat meat i was about to kill my self back in 2012 why because i seen people at the restaurants and at the dinner table it made me feel worthless it actually prevented me from going to University now I live off my disability money even to this day I kinda hope death comes to me.

I have difficulty swallowing and the docs cannot figure out why just yet. I am miserable and depressed

I have it. Due to SEROQUEL a medicine for depression. I took it for 2 weeks. It is called tardive diskenysia (dysphagia ). I get botox treatment. I live in NJ.

I’m here because I am a caregiver for someone who has level 3 dysphasia. She’s the first I’ve known. Thanks for this documentary I have a way better understanding.

Mi niña tiene dos años ocno meses y tiene disfajia pero conmo todo esta en inglés no entendi nada deberian de considerar el español gracias

so some autistic kids have dysphagia because suddenly they stop eating solid food just milk.

I thought dysphagia was only in rabies?

I've been having this problem for 2 months now, it sucks, it really does 😢 Edit: 7 months now... it hasn’t gone away and I’m losing a lot of weight so woohooo!!!111!! :’)

Sonia...when you were on a feeding tube, what were you doing to help the situation? I'm asking for my husband who has suffered with tonsil cancer and now has severe neck fibrosis with a hardened neck and dysphagia. He has been on the tube feed for past 6 months. We are desperate to help him.
