[Dysphagia] Myasthenia Gravis

Does anyone have experience treating dysphagia in patients with Myasthenia
Gravis? Is there any research published on treatment outcomes? I did a
search and was unable to find any.
I have my first patient with the disease. She's on a soft diet, since
excessive chewing fatigues her muscles. She sometimes experiences her
swallow function "freezing up", especially in the middle of the night. When
this happens she has trouble swallowing her saliva. Does anyone have any
insight into this?
