Cat, Boy, I am so ready after the past couple of years. Besides all the medical balony, there has been some serious personal problems here. But little ol me is always the one who makes sure everybody else's life is ok. With a little help from some (very few) supporters, I am girding my loins.. Trouble is at my age, just being normal can be tiring.
On to Glitter Paws..
My vocal cords are constantly inflamed and I was told it could be from GERD and nasal drainage. But I really don't have that problem. However, I think back to knowing about the VAGUS nerve, which controls all of our autonomic behavior and this could be part of the problem if it is irritated or whatever. I know part of my problem became rather serious after being intubated and I fought it, my voice was very raspy. I think this could have started the cycle to where I can't deal with it. But when no one dr. really has a handle on the whole picture, that is my worry.
