  • The waiting  the worst part we’ve all been through this stage. Have you seen your  gp as often anti depressants can help.  
    It will settle once treatment starts. Good luck with teeth you’ll need soft foods for a few days and pain killers. If they give you codeine or co coronal you’ll need laxido or moviolas to stop constipation.

  • Good evening Spencerbear, i have had a swallow test, its a very simple procedure where you swallow a dyed liquid and they take x-rays/video of how you swallow the liquid, you might be asked to swallow yogurt or a bits of banana. Good luck.
