@laceyace - Just a question- Have you been examined by a Ear Nose& Throat doctor for your hoarseness? They can look down at your vocal cords as well as finding out why you feel like something is stuck there

Sounds like you need to advocate for yourself with new doctors who care and take time with you in the office. I have found that right now many doctors want the easy way out, do not treat you seriously and are not thorough enough. So seek out better doctors maybe through a referral from a friend you trust. You can also go online and see if the doctor has 5 stars and read the patient reviews for the best. We deserve the best in medical care. And state how urgent this care is for you. You may need a full workup with labs and maybe a catscan, etc.. I am not a medical person, just saying you deserve the best in medical care and there are great doctors out there. Also ask to be put on the appointment wait list for an earlier appt if necessary. I find that sometimes I minimize my symptoms, so I recommend you be brutally honest about how you feel daily and how long this has been going on. Ask for a treatment plan. All the best to you, BB
