Throat

[Guest guest]

Lovette:

I and some others (dentist has told me of others) have had the same

problem. I actually have to be very careful that when I yawn that I do NOT

have my head turned to either side.........just straight ahead. The first

time it happened I panicked.....couldn't swallow and was very painful. I have

found that if I stay calm and just " wiggle " my windpipe back and forth that

it will " snap " back into place. My doctor's have indicated that it is just a

flukey thing that happens and that there is no need to be concerned. I do not

feel it has had anything to do with my Lyme disease and neither have they.

Don't know if this will help put your mind at ease???????? just my

experience.

HELP!! Last night, I was feeling really achy, so I took 1 Motrin

[200mg]. Soon after that my throat seemed to become dry and then

paralyzed! I moved my trachea a little to get some feeling back and it

seemed to move out of place and then back again. I had to sleep sitting

up because I couldn't swallow when lying down, although I could drink

water.

What is happening????

Lovette

[Guest guest]

Dear Mona: Thanks for your response. But in my case, I do think it has

to do with the lyme disease. It seems that my brain and nerves play

tricks on me! I spent much of the day in the hospital taking a barium

swallow test - all is okay, which is why I am suspicious that the lyme

is once again at work.

Maybe I didn't make my self clear......I DO NOT think my problem had to do

with Lyme either.

I think it was me that brought up the drainage into the throat with

my daughter. She never has drainage out of her ear so we posed the

question to the doctor could it be draining down her throat

instead. He thought it was possible but we didn't really explore it

any further.

Hi, If you go over to Google, and choose the option of searching

through IMAGES..type in eustachian tube..you will turn up many great

illustrations.It seems logically possible to have " dripping down your

throat. " Technically it looks like the eustachian tube connects the

nasopharynx (back of the throat up by the sinuses) to the middle ear.

If anyone has ever had post-nasal drip they often notice(as I have)

that they get a sore throat.So, why not have dripping down the throat?

Though, it sounds gross when you think of the smelly discharge you

get out of your ear.Yikes!What a bummer.

> My 4 year old's tonsils are almost touching, they are so swollen.

Yesterday she was coughing up green phlegm. She feels fine, nothing

even hurts. But my dh panicked and told me to take her to the dr.

today. I did, and he did a swab and said she " probably " has strep, but

it could just be allergies. He wants me to start antibiotics and he'll

let me know in a few days if it's strep or not. If it isn't, we can

stop the meds. I don't like this idea. Anyone know of natural

remedies for this? She can't really gargle.

>

==>. Yes, natural antibiotics are much better than antibiotic

drugs which are toxic/poisonous. I recommend increasing her nutrition

with good mineral-rich bone broths, good healthy soup, Bee's Egg Drink,

etc., lots of warm moisture in the air she breathes, and also give her

one of the antifungals I recommend; if you look up each one they will

state which one(s) help strep; I don't recall which ones do - I'm

having trouble navigating and typing on this laptop so I'm sorry I

can't look it up right now. My article on Cough, Cold & Flu Treatments

will help you with treatments.

If she has had strep in the past this could be a retracing symptom as

well, in which case the swab will be negative. Let me know what her

test results were.

Luv, Bee

NEVER take any antibiotics because a doctor says you " might "

or " probably " have something. That's why many of us have this problem

with candida in the first place!

When my wife and I had strep, we used Bee's treatments and were better

within 2 weeks. It takes a little longer to cure yourself naturally,

but at least you won't do damage to your body you'll have to pay for

later! We did the garlic/ginger tea, as well as clove tea (each 4X per

day). I also took some oil of oregano and lots of chicken soup/bone

broths... and probably a few other things I can't remember because I'm

having a brain fog day! Oh yes... and we increased the supplements

as Bee suggested... mega doses of vitamin C and shark liver oil, as

well as B-multis. The treatments are in the files.

For 8 years I took two puffs daily of my pulmicort and had a constant sore throat. One day I just decided to try one a day as opposed to two. It took a few weeks but now my sore throat of years is 90% better.

Does anyone experience throat problems? I feel like my throat has a rubberband around it most of the time. I am getting ready for sinus surgery again next week but this is a real worry, and doesnt feel like it is caused by drainage. Your thoughts/expereince would be greatly appreciated.

I don't recognize that symptom. What does the ENT say?PamOn May 27, 2008, at 6:48 AM, wkapikorn wrote:Does anyone experience throat problems?

From 1993 to 2004 I would experience a tightness in my throat and sometimes a sensation of heat on the right side of my throat. It turned out to be hyperthyroidism and the enlargement of the thyroid was actually reducing the diameter of my trachea. My problem was that my thyroid was seated so low in my chest that the problem wasn't detectable by manual feel or x-ray. You may want to make your ENT aware of your tightness sensation and for the period of time that you've been experiencing it.

Thanks, . I saw the dr today (pre-op) and she wasn't concerned. So maybe after this surgery, I will be checked by another specialist . . . and on and on it goes . . .

Might be worth adding that you need to rinse out your mouth

after using inhaulers.

Good luck with everything and if you need to have your thyroid checked a simple ultrasound should do the trick. I sure wish that there had been an Internet back in 1990 when all of my problems first started. Not that it would have provided a cure, but it would have made me a much more informed patient and "Knowledge reduces Fear!!!"

If it helps the internet was not really around then...and in the

early stages you might have had only a short community of opinions where as

today you have a much wider spectrum.

With people being more informed, hopefully it will accelerate advancements.

I really appreciate the members, support, and guidance everyone provides. This is truly a blessing! I discovered today that one of the side effects of Tramadol is throat swelling and I've been on tramadol for over a year. It is the ONLY thing that will stop my coughing. Thanks again, for all your suggestions and just for being there to "listening."

I was wondering this also.  Sometimes it feels like it's hard to swallow a

little also.  Do you have this?  I was also wondering if this could be thyroid

related.  My blood work showed I was growing thyroid antibodies though my

thyroid stimulating hormone is still okay.  I was wondering if I was developing

Hashimoto's disease also.  I have Sjogren's syndrome secondary to the RA now.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Anybody have to clear their throat a lot in the morning with r/a? I notice

it is usually just in the morning when I wake up. The afternoon it seems

clear.

I'm asking my rheumy about it when i see him next but heard this could be a

side of r/a.

Hugs..a

Hi all...well, to make matters worse, I have full dentures (caused by my r.a

and sjogrens..) and that is a whole new experience. I can wear the dentures

for about 2 hrs and then they start to feel like one big ole dry piece of

plastic in my mouth. So, that's always fun to deal with. Eating is quite the

experience too. I don't go out to eat like i used to...it is too much of a

struggle it seems.

Anyway, in the morning, the first thing I do is drink my coffee with cream.

I don't know it the cream affects my throat or not..but I am constantly

clearing my throat or it feels like there is phlegm in the back of the throat.

I'm sure the SS doesn't help either.

Hugs..a
