when running, don’t jump into manholes…
its odd how quickly things can go down hill…
so, i’ve mentioned how my voice has been acted for the last two months, and yesterday i had my appointment with my ENT. i already knew i had bad reflux. its strange, however, it doesn’t affect me like other people. i don’t get the heartburn feeling. instead it feels like i have crap on my vocal chords (nasal drainage and what have you) so i constantly clear my throat. however, there’s nothing there. they are just irritated from the acid. so clearing my throat actually makes it worse.
so i descibed whats been going on, and she takes a look at my chords and says its getting worse. the problem is, she doesn’t know why. to figure it out will cost quite a bit money. she wants to run a butt load of blood tests, and she also wants to scope my esophagus to makes sure everything is okay (let me tell you how much i’m looking forward to that…)
in the meantime i have to wait it out until i can figure some way to get insurance. i don’t know what to do, and am very worried. if my voice keeps getting worse…
okay, i’m ready to give up.
– noah
oh dear, that doesn’t sound good at all! i hope everything works out, goodluck

don’t give up..everything will work out. Do you qualify for assistance from your state (re insurance)? It’s time for my yearly exam, but I’m afraid to go because it’s going to cost about $300 and that’s after my health insurance! It’s crazy.
