For a long time I’ve had some degree of difficulty with swallowing my food, esp larger amounts, and needing to double swallow which I’ve always attributed to having massive tonsils.

Now for a month-ish or so, I’ve noticed food residue sitting in my throat especially after eating muffins, anything dry/crumbly like chips or granola bars, etc. and it does not happen (noticeably) with other consistencies. I never choke on food or anything for that matter—I swallow all other solids, liquids, and pills fine.

The location of the feeling seems to vary but I’d say most of the time it’s high, like epiglottis level or so. If it happens and I contract my neck muscles I can bring the food residue nearly to the actual back of my throat but not completely.

Went to ENT they did a scope and saw nothing concerning but are testing me for myasthenia gravis which would be terrible but I get why they need to rule it out. ENT commented on my tonsil size and said it could contribute which I understand but they’ve also been huge my whole life and never caused problems. Waiting on MBS to be scheduled which should help tell the tale, may go down the path of GI as well.

Has anyone else had this feeling/what did it turn out to be for you? Also, i wouldn’t describe this as a globus feeling as I’ve experienced it before and this just isn’t what that feels like, there’s no lump-like feeling it’s all just small residue.

Edit: drinking water doesn’t seem to help the residue move down and swallowing in different positions doesn’t seem to help. Eventually the food residue moves on its own and clears itself I’d say within 10 minutes of eating.

I have a daughter who turns 2 next week and for basically her whole life so far, I feel like a passive observer. That sounds worse than it actually is. I’m a present and active father and partner right along side my wife, but it feels like my daughter just sees me as someone who lives with her favorite person—mama.

My wife does more for our daughter without a doubt in my mind but it’s not for my lack of trying. It was easier when she was a newborn from the standpoint that she really couldn’t tell me no in words, although she would occasionally cry in order to get to my wife for whatever the need was at the time. Now that she can use words and effectively, I certainly know when she wants mama and it’s all the time.

I do my best to change her diapers, get her up in the morning, get her what she needs or wants, etc. all the things but given the opportunity. It’s to the point where my daughter will choose my wife to do whatever it is I’m trying to do for her. From the perspective of tone and how we present ourselves to our daughter it’s not like I’m aggressive and my wife is gentle or something where it would maybe make sense that my daughter had such a strong preference—there’s really nothing I can change.

Sometimes my daughter seeks me out for play but more the rough housing type stuff that my wife just doesn’t do and that’s about it. She doesn’t come to me for comfort at home or socially. She always wants to sit with my wife and cuddle up to her on the couch or read a book if it’s wind down time. She gives all of her physical affection to my wife and allows my wife to return it but will tell me no straight up if I ask her if I can kiss or hug her.

My wife doesn’t see it as a big deal but it kills me. We’re only having one kid (had a vasectomy) and I’ll never get this opportunity again to have this time with her or bond with her even if she does come around at some point.

I know kids generally have a parental preference but this just seems excessive and naturally I’m the person in the marriage who gets their feelings hurt more easily so it figures. My wife gets upset with me for being upset about it for that reason. I know she’s stressed that she does basically everything for our daughter but I wish our daughter would just let me.

Which TS do you like more?

I’ve been a Drake fan since Heartbreak Drake, my first recollection of hearing anything by him was hearing Ransom on a mixtape cd I bought at a music store that sold burnt cd’s that ppl made. The next song I remember hearing was City is Mine, banger.

Point is I’ve been a fan since his inception and I’ve always looked forward to his work but Iceman just feels different but in a good way. His last couple projects didn’t feel nearly as hyped up. I’ve enjoyed his solo albums and esp the love his collab with 21.

Idk how to explain it at all, I just feel like this will be his best work to date. I’ve not been this excited for anyone’s drop in years and that includes his more recent albums. I’m ready.
