Sore Throat

Post by hecate » Wed Aug 01, 2007 2:05 pm

Hi,

I've been getting a really sore throat on and off the last couple of months. It seems to be blistering as I cough up pieces of skin from my throat. I neve seem to be able to get to the doctor when I have the symptoms. I do have a humidifier and it appears to be working (at least the water disappears each night). I don't get a dry mouth so I don't think I'm mouth breathing. All my numbers are great including leak rate.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Liz

YE GODS AND LITTLE FISHES! Doc in a box? Go there when you have, uh, FLESH SAMPLES available for donation?

I don't think I'd wait to see the sleep doc on this one....

Could be something completely unrelated to sleep apnea, like a recurring viral infection.

Get thee to thy fondest and nearest medical authority!
