Thanks for the site info KitKat I will try registering onto the site in the next few days. It will be great to speak to other people who have had similar experiences.

I stumbled on this site yesterday http://forums.healthyplace.com/ubbthreads/categories.php?Cat= You have to register, but it seemed simple. Also it looks as thought the *chat* feature isn't working, so I just emailed and asked if it was down, or is it because I am behind a firewall.... Hang in there bubbleguy....hope that your gp and shrink can work with you and help to make things better!! :)

Hi thanks for everyones support and understanding of my problem. I am currently seeing a great psychologist who a few years ago helped heaps with my eating fears and I nearly recovered fully. She keeps telling me that she believes that I will get better again but it's going to take time. But at the moment I don't seem to have the mental strenght or I'm sick of trying to make any progress. My fear has grown so big that I have lost all but my hope. My local gp is wonderful and is really understanding and thinks I am improving at least weight wise. But thats only because those liquid supplements she put me on have lots of nutritution in them. I still have not dared to touch anything solid. I also see a shrink once a week to help find out why things have turned out the way they have. You would think with all this help I should be improving but I'm not. Maybe I have just had enough and have given up any hope that I will ever eat normal again. Any other help you or others can recommend would be greatly appreciated. Bubbleguy. P.S I know it might sound silly but does anyone know of any online chat sites where they talk about this "fear of choking" topic. :)

Hi Bubbleguy and WELCOME!! Hey I had a similar experience with this giant vitamin that got lodged in my throat. Even called the paramedics...even though I thought I was going to die, I didn't!! My b/f drove me to the hospital and while the nurse was doing triage with me.....(AND measuring my oxygen intake) the vitamin finally went down. NOW, I could have gone into a full blown panic, luckily for me, I didn't. NOW I just don't attempt huge pills...LOL..I take a vitamin pill, still, but chew it before I swallow...YUCK..it tastes awful. But at least I get it down. Hang in there and know that you are NOT alone. Like the others have said, find a doc that can help you...you deserve MORE!!! ;)

Dear bubbleguy, You shouldn't be getting any "look" from your Doctor. If you feel you aren't getting the help you need you should definitely see another Doctor. There is help out there for you. In the meantime keep using this site, make use of the tools on the left and the support group. We are here for you. Susanne

If your doctors are "giving you that look," Bubbleguy, I highly recommend you find another one. Keep looking or ask for referals to someone who specializes in your problems. There is no reason you should suffer like you have been. There are doctors out there that can help you.

Hi Firstly I'll explain the name Bubble guy. My friends jokingly call me Bubbleboy because I hardly get out. I fear choking to death due to a bad experience when I was an early teen on food. I went two years only eating roasted soft potatoes...don't ask why. Then the following year somehow slowly I gained confidence again and began eating fine. Then in my early twenties would you believe the same food nearly choked me again at a close friends house. From that day my life has been a nightmare. It's 6 years later and nothing has changed. I suffered from panic attacks and I feel so different for everyone I know. I always think that something is in my throat. At times I have vivid dreams of choking on food and hate sleeping. I have lost heaps of weight and look like the living dead most days. Doctors give me that look when I mention the problem which in turn makes me feel worse. All I do for nutritition is drink supplements with of straw. The straw is like a security filter for me. Sometimes drinking liquids becomes frighting. My stomach is wrecked and suffer for indigestion all day. I am pyhsically and mentally tired of all this. I would love nothing more then to share a meal with anyone but don't wanna die. I am starved from life literally.

I have also experienced this in the past (not recently) It would continue for a week or two and then just disappear without me noticing it. Try and take your mind off eating...watch tv or talk on the phone or something that seemed to work for me. The more I thought about eating and swallowing the food the harder it was. Very scary isn't it!

I know awhile back there were quite a few posts over this. I believe most entailed eating small amounts of very soft foods, mashed potatoes,scrambled eggs for breakfast, etc. To help with calories Ensure is very good supplement drink that is high in calories, yet healthy, make some smoothies. Once you start small, you will gradually be able to build up to more solid foods without the fear of gagging or choking. Trish
