Anyone have Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy?

@tkubby I have not been told that I have larynx sensory neuropathy. I have noticed changes in my voice and throat that I associate with reflux and many intubations. My throat is sensitive (mildly achy) most of the time and my voice is scratchy. I almost always have a buildup of phlegm in my throat. I do not talk as much as I once did and no longer attempt to sing. I used to talk quite a lot and sang in choirs since my youth. I can no longer do phone work because after 1/2 day I lose my voice. Are these symptoms similar to yours?

Your symptoms exactly mirror mine. Ohio State doctor started me on Tramadol and Lyrica which gave me 80% relief but I still cannot sing without coughing and when become stressed the coughing increases......not fun. I have been diagnosed with Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy.
I have recently self diagnosed with LSN after having various tests done including manometry and videofluroscopy. I trace my cough back to years of untreated reflux. I often cough over food and have to really limit my diet fo soft foods. There don't seem to be many folk on this blog with LSN...I wonder if it is an uncommon complaint. Do you know? I am getting some swalloing and cough speech therapy which so far has not made any difference. I wonder if you are still on this blog. If so I would appreciate hearing from you.
I have had all of those symptoms since I had stage 4 cancer.. no one ever tried to help me .. good luck
