So, my husband is miserable. His larengiel nerve is damaged from a condition he got from 9/11 in NYC.
He can't smoke at all wo agony. So I make the best butter for him on this green earth.
His addiction now is my cookies. But they only work once a day for him.
He liked to be zonked all day long but now he can't.
It causes depression for him but he gets by.
No fucking way. I am so sorry he had to go through that, but I literally treat patients for LSN and laryngeal paralysis, which is such a coincidence. Is his voice and swallowing ok now??
They put him on gabapentin and he hates it.
He also thinks they are wrong he thinks it's a physical injury from an old shoulder injury.
Imaging shows nothing so his ENT thinks it's his nerves and neuropathy. He thinks it is from a crushed lymph node that happens to him a few years back.
Drs won't listen to him at all
They think he has globus. I think that's bullshit.
Gabapentin makes sense if there was nerve pain. Classic imaging won’t show shit (X-rays, cts without contrast, even mris sometimes). Unless someone did a modified barium swallow with him, idk how they would know. Do you know if they did any cranial nerve testing with him?
