Guest guest Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 Hi everyone Hope you are all feeling ok... I'm ok, just tired and achy all over... My ENT that I usually go to said he couldn't help me with the throat discomfort because he is more of an ear specialist, so he referred me to a throat/airway specialist. When I called this other doctor, I explained to the secretary that I have RP and have throat discomfort... She gave me an appt that same day,... can you believe that? anyway I saw him and I explained my case history and he scoped me... he believes my airway and trachea is just fine, but that I suffer from possible reflux and suggested I take Losec which is similar to Prilosec, but a smaller pill form you take once a day. and I also suffer from post-nasal drip which doesn't help.. It always gets worse when the dry winter weather starts... so I have to get myself a humidifier.... also anxiety doesn't help either which causes my throat to feel tight... but I can breathe ok...btw, I asked my the ENT if I can have a spiral CT scan (thin slice) anyway and he said ok, told him it would make me feel better so he wrote out a referral... now if I go to a hospital to have it done it will be a 3 to 4 month wait, if I go to a private clinic it will cost me anywhere from 200 to 500$$$ :o/ I'll call the private clinics and find out exactly what the cost is and and ask the CT dept where I work how long the wait is and go from there... I'll keep you posted... also, I've been overwhelmed by email lately and so I've decided to go to web read only for a while... if anyone wants to reach me for any reason, please just send email to carmela999@... thanks I'll be back later this week... luv you all to pieces Carmela _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
