Oh realized I didnt say this was my internist at the univeristy. I spoke honestly about if I were to see someone there is would have to be someone like my wonderful pulmo who she initially switched me to from a lesser pulmo. I added her to the list of someone like pulmo tho that wasnt as true as pulmo. In repsonse to this she gave me the name of a doc there who she felt was like that but would take 3 months. So she gave me the name of a really good gastro doc that had left the univerity to private proactice. There in that city (not mine).

She set up referall to a throat specialist when I explained that something more was going on with talking and breathing that causes my throat area to lockup and areas in chest when I try to talk for any length of time. It had happened again last Monday after 2 long morning calls. The only aid is to stop talking for the most part. She said he specilzes in vocal chords. This a step up from the local throat fella that had scoped me in office and asked if I had been worked up for ALS and ordered an MRI of throat and swallow study. I became so ill with gastro issue I didnt get thru the tests.
