Anyone have Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy?

Posted by tkubby @tkubby, Jan 23, 2019

I am looking to talk with anyone that has been told they have larynx sensory neuropathy. In other words, over active nerves in the larynx.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

Has anyone had a positive, long term effect with laryngeal blocks for chronic throat clearing? That is my next step after trying all the already mentioned treatments and seeing multiple specialists.

I have also been through many treatments and specialists. As a last resort, I had both left and right side laryngeal nerve blocks last year, but unfortunately they were ineffective. I wish you luck.

There is a spot behind the earlobe and above the jaw which when pressure is applied with your index finger can ease a laryngospasm (when it feels like you can’t breathe). Not sure if that’s what you mean when talking about a coughing spasm?

Google Larson's Maneuver. The points are behind the ear lobes. Hope this helps.
