I am on my 3rd day of Predisone 20mg daily and fluticasone nasal spray and I think that overall symptoms have improved. Exercise or eating will trigger but not as bad and able to speak a bit better.
Also, I started eating Dark (65% cocoa) and it is very soothing to throat. There is a lot of interesting data on flavanoids, antioxidants and other properties in dark cocoa and it coats the throat in a way that protects it from further irritation while acting as local anti-inflammatory.
This triple approach of oral (systemic) and nasal spray (local) steroid combined with dark chocolate has provided me the best relief I have experienced in the last two years. I've been disappointed before but hoping this will continue and thought I would share in real time so others who are suffering can try to find relief.
