Guest guest Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 Oh Gail, you are such a sweetheart and I have REALLY missed you. I promise that I will go to a doctor tomorrow, which ever one can get me in on a Monday. LOL My voice has come back most of the way, but my inner ear is in great pain. Think it must be an ear infection,but will not take any chances and will go to the dr tomorrow for sure. HONEST!! You are now part of the worriers club (me and Glenda) lOL Thank you for caring so. I sure hope Cyrus is doing okay. I never did hear the update. I have only been getting half my mail, hope I didn't miss yours. Let me know how he is doing. Love, hugs, and prayers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 and Sharon, I also have this and my Rheumy will either send me to my ENT or give me a dose pack of Pred. Call your Rheumy, both of you and let them know. Please don't mess around with your throat. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I have had hardly any voice for a few > days, but don't feel > sick. Any input? I have been lowering my pred and > was wondering if this > was maybe a flare. > > I second this question! I have been having lots of coughing and hoarseness again, but no other signs of illness.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 Gail i know exactly what you mean, this is what happened to me. I knew i was sick, but i think by me just being 24 thinking oh this rp will get better, it's just like asthsma-spelling. This is exactly what my airway did to me and i ended up in the hospital for 2 months. Now i have a Trach and a left main bronchial stent. The more the area stays inflammed the more dammage and scar tissue is building up. Right now my Trach is staying put, because of the scar tissue that is around my vocal cords.

LOL I know you are concerned for all of us. Just as we are concerned for you and Cyrus. I'm just so glad to see a post from you. My throat is much better, but my inner ear is giving me fits. Think is a sinus thing that has backed up to my ear. Am waiting for a call back from my dr. I'm doing much better though. Thank you for all of your kind thoughts and prayers. I love ya bunches.
