I hope I have not permanently damaged muscles or nerves in my throat somehow...a very frightful prospect to be sure. (and I know anxiety makes it worse.)

Any help, ideas, or encouragement is much appreciated, and I can honestly say I feel your pain.
Your symptoms sound like they could be stress related. Perhaps your doctor can prescribe something to help with your anxiety while you learn other methods to de-stress to the point that you no longer need the medication.

Some suggestions are exercise, muscle relaxation exercises, yoga, massage therapy, acupuncture, and prayer if you are religious. Find someone to talk to that you trust that may be able to help you see things differently and provide helpful advice and support.

Best wishes.....
