Dear Ray, I know what you mean about the excess saliva and choking! When I accidently inhale food or saliva that I haven't properly swallowed and start choking. I just tell the wife and kids, it's an attention getting device. Now when they hear me choke (but I am obviously still breathing ok) they ask me if I'm not getting enough attention. I also feel that I would not be able to keep such a positive out look with out the DBS as with me the drugs just do not work that well.
