Are there any updates on the Stretta on this thread?...
Hello to you all. I dont believe there is any chance left for me, but one thing i do not understand about my LPR symptoms is this. I have what looks like a sunburned or scalded area below my neck and...
In the last two weeks i have gone way down hill. I get the most horrific pain in my throat that spreads into my sinuses and down into my breastbone. Nothing stops this pain and i become bedridden and...
I lost my voice a year ago and have tried everything. I now have what i call suicide pain in my nasal passages, pharynx, larynx and just below the larynx. I begged my doctor for pain pills today but...
Were you on any medications when this happened?...
Can you give more details about your symptoms? Is it the back of your throat by your tonsils or down in the larynx and voicebox? How is your voice? Do you have alot of mucus in the throat?...
Alcie, you felt the Bravo probe being put in?? I was out cold. Was yours down during and endoscopy?? Mine was placed way down by my lower esophageal sphincter. Where was yours placed at? Also mine...
You are supposed to just go about your normal activities with the probe in. Its the least invasive test for silent reflux there is. Far easier than an empendence test....
thank you for the replies. I should be more specific. I woke up with a lump in the throat and a hoarse voice six days after the probe was implanted during an endoscopy. It did not go through the...
Hello everyone, i have a very long story but i will make it brief. A year ago i had a Bravo capsule implanted in my esophagus to check for reflux and 6 days later i woke up with a lump in my throat...
Holy diver, are you still on here?? I have the same thing happening to me. Just wondered how you were doing?...
I had the Restech probe and it was uncomfortable but not as bad as some other tests ive had. You can eat whatever you want. Do you have a hiatal hernia? I burp alot too and have developed sinus and...
I am wondering the same thing. Ive asked my ENT and he has no answer. I really wish i knew for both of us. I cant even go outside in the cold air now. Even the sunlight makes me sneeze and my throat...
Daxter, send me an email if you like....
Daxter, i have the same thing only not quite as bad but very similar to what you describe. I hate drinking water because of it. And mine is getting worse too. Ive told a couple of doctors this and...
How long were you on the ativan?? Can you tell me why they put you on it?...
They put me on ativan one year ago for the lump in the throat before they even knew what was wrong. I still dont have a diagnosis and i am still on ativan. Tried to taper off and was in protracted...
I hope somebody answers your question. I am supposed to have a manometry soon. I wish i could help you. Dont panic. It could be equipment malfunction. That happened to me with the Restech....
Lily, if i can do it you can do it. Believe me!! I was freaked out too, but it was no big deal once i got in there. I couldnt feel the cck. Its not different than if you were to eat something. There...
Had you ever had any problems before this with heartburn or silent reflux symptoms??...
Its not a scary procedure at all. There should be a tv there for you to watch and the tech will make you feel very comfortable....
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Using nasonex but its not helping much. Never had sinus issues in my life until i started having LPR symptoms....
I tried the impedence and couldnt get the tube through my broken nose. Had the Restech and the catheter malfunctioned. Its been one long year of bad luck with no diagnosis. Just 15-20 different meds...
NikNak, do you have pain in your voicebox??...
Denise, my doctor did suggest it, but then i had emergency gallbladder surgery and never made it to the speech therapy. I will look into it again. Thanks...
I have alot of mucus in my throat too. Mine is brought on by talking, drinking or eating. It happens immediately. My chest also feels tight which makes me feel like i cant breathe. I wish i had...
I havent tried speech therapy yet. Its about the only thing i havnet tried. Did you try it?...
Ive had severe voice pain for one year. It is so bad that it has spread into my chest and my sinuses. Today, i got my finger smashed a let out a loud yell. With very little voice pain. So i tried it...
WHat are your symptoms?...
Our stories are different but similar in many ways. I admire your courage. I am also at my wits end. Please keep posting how you are doing....
Javery, that is really great to hear. God speed to you. My story is a little different. I woke up with a lump in my throat and a hoarse voice when i had a Bravo capsule place in my esophagus. That...
It is my last chance. I have tried all the pills and i am not a candidate for surgery....
Ive seen this information and even followed most of it, but ive never done all the steps necessary to give it a chance. Ive had it with doctors and pills and there is no way i can take a stomach...
Digestive problems cause so much suffering and nobody seems to understand. Have you been to a gastrologist?? How do you know you have an ulcer? What probiotics have you tried?...
I developed sinusitis in dec and it has not gone away yet. Do you have sinus headaches?...
Ive got the same problem and it is driving me nuts. It wakes me up in the night. I think part of it is from the mucus and swelling and also being dry from the meds im on. My stomach grumbles...
Bill i read through this and still cant understand whats happening. Im afraid the damage to my nervous system is permanent. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2866558/...
Bill, no, i never had any sinus problems in my life and it all started on dec 4th out of the blue. My ENT thinks it is a neuropathy. There is no question that there has been a neurological change in...
Kitt, yes, i had a neurological exam and MRI of my brain and all was "essentially normal", whatever that means. My sinus issues seem to be a new and extreme non-allergic type response to triggers....
Alcie, i already tried all of the things you mentioned and they did not help. The reason my ENT gave me nasonex is because he said i have alot of congestion (inflammation). I dont know whats...
Its awful. How do you keep from going nuts, or getting a sore esophagus from all of that swallowing?? I think it has really caused me alot of pain because i have to do the same thing....
Daxter, i feel like i could have written this myself. Except i have completely lost my voice so work is out of the question and when it went into my sinuses my quality of life went from horrible to...
How about your throat? Do you have LPR or Gerd?...
How is your voice now?...
Where is your burning and where are your spasms?? I had 2 ultrasounds, 2 hida scans and an mri that were all normal and after a year and a half of symptoms i almost died before they got it out. The...
Bill, the mucus in the throat has been going on since March 9th when i woke up with LPR type symptoms well before the sinus issues. I had a Bravo probe in at the time and one year later the doctors...
Im having similar problems. Had my gallbladder out in december...
When did you have your gallbladder out? What were your symptoms before the surgery? Can you tell us details about your symptom history?...
Bill ive never had sinus problems in my life. Woke up with it and my ENT thinks its a neurological problem related to my throat. Its like my nasal passages no longer work right. Ive tried everything...
I dont understand what is happening. It feels more like an allergic response than LPR....
