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.

I have had my chronic cough for the past 11 years since recovering from a bad case of strep throat. I've been tested for everything under the sun and keep having the same result...that I'm in "perfect health."
Since then I've acquired more health issues and the cough has gotten so bad that I've separated tendons from my ribs from it. I am currently taking Pregabalin for another condition (which is said to be a treatment for LSN) however I have not had any success relieving my cough. I wish I could have some answers.

My chronic cough started after two severe colds in a row. I just kept coughing. For 30 years. I was treated for asthma (the inhalers made me cough), and allergies (oral meds and weekly shots) without relief. The only thing that worked was antihistamine. I would take up to 10 a day to avoid coughing at work. I was finally diagnosed with laryngeal sensitivity neuropathy by an ENT, who prescribed 5 mg amitriptyline daily. It worked like a charm for a few months until it didnt. I still take allergy meds daily, but i dont think they help. I'm still dependent on antihistamines - every few hours day and night.
