@hopeful33250 thanks for your information. I recently saw an ENT and am scheduled for a CT scan in a few days. Just starting this process. I do choke and trying hard to be careful of that. So worried I won’t be able to get help. I do lose voice, when/if I have one very fast and get breathy. I don’t feel I have swallowing problems but, I have noticed that my throat will spasm sometimes...like a tight knot and hurts a little. Guessing it may be from this paralysis. Researching for a specialist. Family in Ma. and Mass General in Boston is 6th in the nation for these problems...so considering possibly.... plus have another issue to get fixed so sort of overwhelmed at the moment...again thx for responding...

I understand that it is overwhelming to have to deal with a lot of problems at one time. I am glad to hear that you have researched and found a hospital near you that is well known for treating this type of problem.

I look forward to hearing how you are progressing in dealing with this. Will you post again?

@hopeful33250 I will post when I have something to say. In a waiting game right now. Plus don't know where I'll get treated yet because I don't live in Boston...but some family does and if I choose to go there, I have family to help me thru it.

@pammcat- the issues you are having are systemic. Do NOT let an ENT convince you to take a CT scan. That is part of their protocol, they offer that to every person.
If you are a sensitive person, skin, allergies, nervous system will all play a role.
Skin and mucous membranes are your first line of defense. If you experience irritation/allergies/inflammation from external environments, your body is doing its job. Sore throat, voice hoarse ness is systemic response to an irritant. As uncomfortable as this may be it is NOT an anatomical issue. It is up to you to figure out your irritants. Also, anxiety sends the body into an inflammatory state as well.

Yes, I spent 2 days outdoors in dust and pollen, handling thousands of plants for a large sale. Tonight I have a sore throat, and almost no voice. I expect a day or two all will improve. A primary provider or allergist might be of more help to you.
