My last scope was clear--no sign of reflux at all, and doctor now thinks I never had LPR, but vocal chord paresis that is causing breathing problems. I'd love to get off the proton pump but I know...
Oh thank you Dan. I think the doctor might try that. he mentioned neurotic, but I think that's the same? Are you on it? Did you have side effects?...
A lot of people SWEAR by it. let me know if it helps you. I know, these conditions are so difficult to diagnose properly and to treat and so much is trial and error and trying to figure out what...
I take Klonopin for it and it helps HUGELY. I'm just worried about how long I can stay on it....
It's still going on. Two days now. Dr. told me to drink a lot of water, which isn't really helping. BUT most people seem to do great on it. Someone here said it cured them of LPR in six days!...
I have been to Dr. Koufman (bad experience) and had bad experiences with two different ENT guys, now seeing a laryn-doctor, who seems pretty good, but he thinks my case is difficult, if not...
I'm struggling for breath. I saw a new doctor who diagnosed me with vocal chord paresis--he doesn't think I have LPR and my only symptoms are breathing problems. So he put me on elavil which has...
PS, so far after one day on Elavil, only thing I noticed was it made me really sleepy when I took it, and I was a little tired in the morning. Also a little blurred vision and increased tinnitus, I...
Angelcat, are you taking or did you take the dreaded proton pumps? Anything else? What are you eating? I've been doing the Dropping Acid diet for months now, but eating out is a nightmare since even...
Yes, the breathing exercises really help. Especially the Yoga "Breath of Fire" one. Alternate nostril breathing also opens up my lung. You just reminded me to do them, Angelcat! Thank you....
Hi Toni-Ann, I saw Dr. Koufman and had a horrible experience with her....
Georg1301--I put 1/2 tsp.of baking soda in water and drink it. It almost always clears things up for me. I can't believe you've had this for three years! I started elavil, so side effects, but it's...
Harriet, I saw Dr. K and had a terrible experience. It was very much as you said, "my way or the highway" and she refused to tell me why she wanted to do certain tests, only that she was the doctor...
Does anyone have vocal chord paresis? I thought I was better, but now it's 7 doctors later. I was diagnosed with LPR by two doctors (including Jamie Koufman) from a throat scope, then told today by...
I was charged $2500 for one visit with Dr. K. It was resolved by my insurance company because they had erroneously told me I could go with a $50 co-pay, so I ended up paying just the $50. But...
Can you tell me what tests Dr. Latov did? And you are right. i want to be cured....
thank you. I went to Dr. K (had a terrible experience) but I will look up the other doctor....
I was diagnosed with LP six months ago after a terrible bout with bronchitis, asthma, antibiotics and prednisone. My ONLY symptoms are a rumbling in my chest and asthma like symptoms with breathing...
