Hello Everyone,
I wanted to ask the other members, if you all do not mind if they ever had a procedure done that entailed a camera down your throat or a tube inserted in your nose down to your throat and vocal cords? I think its called a langoscopy"? spelling?
If you read my other posts I have been suffering with severe panic, depression and health anxiety for the past year, very badly. I feel like my "worst fears have come true" I always worried something was terribly wrong with me and now I think its come true! I got sick at the end of Feb and I did go to the doctor, he said I had broncitis and laryingitis and I took a ten day course of antibotics, the broncitis cleared up, it took awhile but it finally went away but the laryingiits has not, in fact it is worse, I squeak when I talk and its painful, I feel like I have a lump in the left side of my throat when I swallow and it radiates to my ear?! I have tried honey and lemon and not talking, gargling etc....and nothing helps and its scaring me too death that its laranyx cancer or throat cancer, it got a little better last week then came back again and the Doctor says antibotics do not cure lariygitis which I do know, and I googled it and terrified myself, I am crying all the time out of fear and when I am not crying I am sleeping so I do not have too feel the pain, I see my nurse for my meds thursday but she cannot help me with the throat, if I go to ER could they look down my throat, a ENT doctor I know could take weeks and I am afraid anyway to go.
I read about the "complications" of a layronscopy and they are terrible, bleeding from the throat or nose, breathing problems due too the antheisia and others bad ones, my Mother died during surgery and I do not want too make that mistake, she trusted her Doctor so much and it turned out terribly, she was so young and beautiful and much much stronger than I am.
Did anyone here ever have a tube down their throats or nose? Did it hurt? and do you have too be put completely UNDER too have it done, I think that is what is scaring me the most going under and not waking up just like my Mother, I know that is rare but it can happen, did anyone ever lose thier voices for a month with a sore in the throat and it went away and it was not anything bad? Any help would be so appreciated right now, just me walking in the Doctors office I feel I would make a complete fool of myself and they would send me away not wanting to deal with some hysterical scared woman, and I dont think I would blame them. I am afraid of the procedure but afraid of the cancer, I am praying this goes away so I do not die.
Who else do we have
