Yes, Dr. Grief. My name is Linda Wright. I have had a problem with losing my voice, getting hoarse, not being able to sing like I once did for a couple years. I also have some difficulty breating or feeling like I am getting enough air. My throat stays dry and is now sore most of the time; feverish pain, difficulty swallowing sometimes, thirsty all the time and despite all my medication for Chronic Fibromyalgia and Early Onset Alzheimer's I still seem to run a low grade fever. I have seen an EENT doctor and am scheduled to go back in July. I also have a cough that doesn't go away and leads to choking. The last few days I have begun to not only feel hot pain in my throat but also in my ears. I had frontal cervical spine surgery with fusion and cadaver bone December 2009.
