Dear Barb, I am so, SO happy to hear from you at last! We have all been very worried and feeling helpless as we read Fred's posts. I'm profoundly grateful to hear from you at last and know that you're back home and recovering. I'll look forward to your summary to the list, and may I suggest that you post it to "Ask Dr. Lieberman" on the NPF website as well? I can't help but think he might have some insight into the throat constriction and swelling. VERY glad to have you back, Kathrynne Barbara Blake-Krebs wrote: > > I am a recent survivor of NMS.
