Hey Doctor, I have always had moderate to severe asthma, allergic to natural things like cat fur, dog hair, dust, feathers, no know medicine allergy; but for years now I have lost most of my voice. My throat feels tight and when I cough people run miles away - obviously anticipating the Andromeda strain. First theory, poltp on my vocal chords. Two years ago the wanted to remove it but I died on the operating table and there was obviously a flurry of activity. High dosages of Losec was prescribed thinking the matter to be caused by acid reflux. Endoscopy showed narrowed airways (never smoked), 5'1" but obese}' specialist said I have a staggering throat trush due to asthma pump usage but I do gargle afterward and it doesn't seem to help. I love pickled gherkins and can eat a whole bottle of it at one sitting and then drink all the vinegar as well. Cocktail onions are in an even stronger vinegar solution so it takes about a week to get through that, and I also drink the vinegar. My hubby wonders if I may be allergic to this. Can you help, please?
