Cant find answers to my throat problem.
by Murphy9238481, Nov 09, 2009 08:43AM
It a long story but ill try to sum it up in short.
In 2001 at the age of 14 I was diagnosed with linear scleroderma. I was treated with Corticosteroid for 3 months and then methotrexate for a year and a half.About 40 days into taking the methotrexate I started to notice I was getting this odd feeling in my throat. What it was what I didn’t know then was a sort of post nasal drip dry throat with a blocked nose. I had this extremely bad that I would miss days and days of school. The doctors couldn’t give me an answer. I still have this problem to this day.
Since 2001 I’ve seen 6 ENTs 3 Allegists and a Gastroenterologist. Plus many other doctors. All seem to have no answers to my problem or just think its in my head.
things that make it worse: alto of medicaton makes it worse for some reason. like H2 receptor blockers, and just about and medication i take. its like a really bad reaction i get that makes me swallow and clear my thraot alot and very bad nausea.
things that make it a bit better: vitamin B100, decongestants.
My feeling is that this is a chemistry problem not something like a sinus infection.my thoat has the ability to get worse and better like a reaction.
p.s The neti pot and nasal sprays dont work for me. I dont have globus.
