Opinion on eagles diagnosis

You should be able to post images now, it was just because you’re a new member…

It is hard when you have possible overlapping conditions to distinguish between symptoms, but @Isaiah_40_31 has given you info about what could be causing some of them, & how common they are with ES. Unfortunately often the only way to tell is to have surgery and see what resolves, but if you’re not able to be intubated at the moment obviously surgery isn’t a good idea…

@Jess1 posted some info about laryngeal spasms in this discussion, she’s also in CA so might have suggestions for a doctor or speech & language therapist for you. You can send a private message to her by clicking on her avatar:

I replied to your other post, & suggested that maybe you get an updated CT done, as this might show if there’s more calcification since your last one. We do often see unfortunately that many radiologists dismiss quite significant calcification as not important, or believe that styloids aren’t elongated when they are… So might be interesting to look at your images.
