I think the member geolin has posted about lung nodules. I know we've disussed the yuckiness of chest tubes (mine from surgery, his from nodules). You might try to find him. Happy Easter, God bless!

When I went off my Kineret 2 years ago to have my foot reconstructed I got a nodule on my vocal chords. On top of it, I take Advair for asthma and the powder would catch on the nodule and I got thrush. I was over 2 months not able to speak at all, and it has been 2 years and I still have not regained my full singing voice, and I imagine I never will. The A and the B are just not quite right. I assume that was the location of the nodule on the right fold.

But the most dangerous thing about throat nodules is that if they get too big, they can close up the throat and you can have your breathing obstructed. That happened to my cousin, and she was in the ER and she actually got hypoxia so badly, her heart stopped. They were able to restart her heart, but now she has a permanent trache.

So please take these nodules seriously. If you feel like you cannot breath, get to an ER with someone else driving. I think we just need to get the whole disease under control, which sometimes is not the easiest thing to do.

I have also had the throat nodules, long before I was ever diagnosed with the disease.

Had no clue they were related. Had surgery on my vocal chords and my sinuses. Had several nodules in my sinuses as well.

I have to go back and have my throat checked again soon.
This disease has no limits as to what it wants to attack ....GRRRR...
Hope your throat gets better soon, but if not you should definitly have it looked at.
Hugs,

how do you know if you have nodules.
I went to the er yesterday for a migraine, I also told them to check my luck, so they did a ct scan for the head ache and x-rays for my lungs.

my voice goes horse a lot lately, and my lungs hurt, did they do a scan to find the nodules

hope you feel better soon
