Don't know if there are more tests to have since this is new to me. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more question--what tests did you have to confirm or rule out throat involvement? I have had no baseline testing for anything and am about ready to ask for some. Not that my HMO will cover....but you never know unless you ask. Take care, Sharon ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 Laryngeal involvement can be determined by a Pulmonologist during a flexible bronchoscopy (out-patient) or by an ENT using a numbing spray and a scope that can be done in-office. I've had both. My personal test is when I can hear a snoring sound when I breath coming from that area. Most of the time (when there's some inflammation) I hear/feel the snoring coming farther down in my trach area. Since my Prednisone use is back up again, I not having those symptoms, but praying for the strength to keep away from an all-you-can-eat restaurant!

I > think of you often and > would love to meet you if i ever get up Glenda's > way. > > hugs > > We RPer's not remember something....imagine that! I am reading " The Program " by White. I only started it last night, but am enjoying it very much. I like Dr. Alan and . Just finished one called " The Incumbent " , but can't remember who wrote it. It was really good too. I'm trying to rest, but just feel like crap for some reason. So tired it feels like I am swimming in concrete! Thought taking a walk would energize me this morning, but it just made me more tired. Hey, if you ever get up this way and don't meet me I will have to borrow the pointy toed shoes and kick your behind! I'd love to meet you! Think of the fun we could have in the used book stores! Take care and I hope you are feeling better tonight. Love, Sharon ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich tries to by pass them so he doesn't get stuck for hours in one. LOL I just finished " The Program " Good one!! Oh believe me, if I ever get up that way I will visit ALL of you in that area. I'm thinking of maybe a train ride. LOl I don't do planes well. Maybe a car would be better yet. LOL I'm dragging today too, must be swimming in the same cement as you.
