Barb, could this be a form of dystonia? I understand that dystonia may occur anywhere, including facial, jaw and neck muscles. Could your neurologist offer any explanation? I can't offer any help other than that, because I know dystonia is very difficult to for neurologists to treat; but I hope you and Fred will pursue this, and consult with him. I will be thinking of you and praying for good results. My very best regards, Kathrynne Barbara Blake-Krebs wrote: > > I think my mouth and throat may fall down into my stomach.
