Hi and yes I have another question for all the gang, has anyone suffered from a tightening of the throat,or it becoming difficult to swallow things. I suffer from sjorgens syndrom and have a dry mouth/eyes daily but this is new. I am at the hospital to see my consultant about all my meds and will bring all these things up but its nice to have a knowledge of whats going on. I would appeciate any info. 8)

    Hi John,

    I had something very similar and the epiglottis is double the normal size as well as the voice has changed. had extensive tests after it had all gone down and they never did get to say what it actually was but rumour has it mine was linked to the pa.....

    It may not be the same thing but please bring it up with your rumo when you see them.

    Yes John. I have this. One reason I opted for a spinal for my THR was because I thought a GA would finish my throat off or cause complications.
    I have to carry drinks with me everywhere.

    Hi John :)

    One of the symptoms of Sjogrens syndrome can be swallowing difficulties. I would definately mention this new symptom to the consultant when you next see him.

    Always good to hear from you,

    Look after yourself,
