@shack76 Congratulations on being sober for 21 years, Philip!! 💪
It sounds to me like you've got a good game plan. I'm happy the video resonated and you now have that knowledge. Not all specialty doctors take a look at the whole picture, nor do they have knowledge of CSS, but if you get into a great place like OHSU, I'm really hopeful they work together as a team. to find appropriate therapies and you get your voice and swallowing under control. Mitigating circumstances may play a role so don' be afraid to advocate for yourself.
On the note of psyche meds. Yes, the less chemicals in your body that can play a role with side effects and upregulating the central nervous system the better. It's great you've been off for 7 years and noticed positive changes. The goal is always to find self-help and holistic ways of helping ourselves to give our bodies and minds the best chance possible.
Will you please keep me posted on how the referral process goes and when you get an appointment at OHSU? I'm very happy for you! Think positive, my friend.
