Anyone have 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.

Hello. I do check this site from time to time. I am still bothered daily with LSN. As of now I take 3 tramadol daily and also take medical marijuana CBD drops to help lessen my cough. I also know what foods I should avoid to trigger it ( crackers, pretzels, nuts, chips, anything dry and crunchy) I have just got to the point that I accept that I have to live like this the rest of my life. I have tried a few times to cut back on my tramadol but within a week I start coughing worse and need to go back to 3 a day. I am now at the point that I do still cough daily but there are some days that it is not that often. Some days I do have attacks still that cause me to gag, pull muscles and can feel my heart racing. It’s terrible to have to live with LSN. It seems to be rare and unfortunately we are two of the unlucky ones that seem to have it. 😢
