Re: Newly diagnosed & vocal cord disorders

[Guest guest]

Cheryl & Rita,

What is this vocal cord disorder that you are talking about. Since I have been

diagnosed almost a year ago, I have twice gotten laryngitis. I have it right

now. I thought it was just from allergies, but since you mention this, I am

wondering now. I tried to do a search on syjorgens, but nothing came up.

Thanks for your help!

Cheryl, i was also daignosed around your age i am now in my early 50's. it is

also in my lungs. i have had to have fusions of the back, i am in constant pain

without my drugs. i bet you have syjorgens syndrome because of the vocal cord

thing. right now i am own humira and medrol for flares. i love the medrol i

would be almost normal if my rheumy would let me take it every day. i have been

seeing a pulmonogist for the lungs he has helped also. don't wait to try the

biologics. i waited about 5 years and wish i had started in my early fortys

instead of late fortys. gotta go today is my rheumy appt. hugs rita

Tricia,before i was diagnosed with my RA i had been hoarse for 4 months and

sometimes when i talk ,you cant hear me or understand me,when i seen my ENT my

vocal chords were infected and not vibrating like they should and when i was

diagnosed with RA and seen the ENT he says that my RA has affected it,i am still

hoarse and my vocal chords are to the point of paralysis so when i see the ENT

friday i will know more of what is going on and will let you know what he says

to do,but for those of you that have RA take my word it affects everything not

just joints.

I have a little congestion, but nothing like with a cold. I have been running my

humidifier too.

I looked up Sjogren's & didn't see anything about vocal cords.
