I have posted this on the other post about trouble swallowing, so this may be redundant for some of you, but wanted to make sure you saw this.
I have had the same problems with swallowing or feeling food is stuck for almost 2 years. I also get severe heartburn with it that is not just in my chest, but wraps around into my back.
Once I began to have nausea and vomiting with it, I decided I'd better suck it up and see a doctor (I HATE going to the doctor's!!!). After many tests, two which required anesthesia, it was the very last test, a simple x-ray which detected the problem.
My esophagus was not moving food through at a normal rate because of esophageal spasms (which caused the pain, nausea and vomiting). I now take 3 little pills with each meal every day that "relax" the esophagus, and I've had NO problems unless I forget to take the pills for a few meals/snacks in a row!
I'm definitely not saying this is your problem, but I do know I have a tendency to immediately blame everything on MS, when in fact often it is something completely unrelated.
I just wanted to give you my experience, just in case it might help you in some way. Sometimes the answers are simpler than we expect.....I hope that is the case for you. Good luck!
