Swallowing difficulty/let's share symptoms

[MrsBritty]

I've had many strange physical symptoms that send me into panic and worry. My latest downward spiral was caused by trouble swallowing. I've had trouble swallowing for about a year now. Sometimes I'm able to ignore it and put it out of my mind, but for the last year swallowing feels hard and I have clicking in my ears every time I swallow. It's much worse when I'm just swallowing saliva as opposed to swallowing food or drink. Anyone else have this too? I noticed a few nights ago I had excess saliva and that combined with swallowing freaked me out. It feels like constant mucus in the back of my throat I'm constantly having to cough or clear my throat. I went into familiar panic over ALS for a few days. I'm just now mellowing out my swallowing problem persists and I started having twitching in my ears my ear drums were having spasms. Any twitchers here? Twitching is another symptom I've had for 2 years. Anyone ever had ear spasms? Normal cat scan of brain, EEG, brain MRI, spine MRI, blood work etc. my neurologist basically refused to do more test

Here's a list of symptoms I've had. Do you share any? How do you deal with them?

Headaches
Visual disturbances (I see auras)
Joint pain
Twitching
Aching
Cramping
Extreme tongue pain/stiffness
Numbness
Tingling
Random goosebumps
Sweats/hot flashes
Internal vibration
Muscle/ body jerks
Dizziness
Vertigo
Nausea
Vomiting
Trouble swallowing with clicking in ears
Buzzing tickling sensation in face

Hi there, I share almost your whole list of symptoms! With exception of vomiting....but only because I have a phobia of vomiting and therefore resist the urge sometimes for many hours! I am currently experiencing excess saliva and swallowing and a lump in throat feeling with sometimes the feeling of tightness and difficulty swallowing. As you say often less so when eating food. Its very unnerving and I find it hard to get through my days to be honest. How are the doctors treating your symptoms?
