Hi all

I have been struggling with a funny throat sensation (mostly to the left) since early November - so almost 3 months. Comes and goes - but mostly there. Doesn't hurt when I eat or drink only when I swallow saliva. I have suffered from reflux before and I was overweight. I have now lost all the weight and back to normal (8kg). All through dieting healthily. I am 42 years old. So here's a quick summary:

- I have seen my private GP, a Gastroenterologist and an ENT specialist. They all seem to think it's related to LPR silent reflux.

- Taken lansoprazole and nexium - seen some improvement but not huge.

- Taken 3 different types of antibiotics and a bit of prednisolone - no change

- Have 3 laryngoscopies and 1 gastroscopy - nothing found, except some mild irritation on my epiglotis (consistent with reflux) and both my lingual tonsils are prominent but symmetric.

- Had an MRI of the tongue and neck and a CT scan of the chest - nothing found. MRI confirmed the lingual tonsils are prominent but symmetrical.

- Had an ultrasound and only found some reactive but normal lymph nodes

- All of my blood work is fine (ESR 2, CRP 2.5).

- All swab cultures for infections are clear.

Symptoms are persisting and actually my chin glands seem to hurt for the last week or so. This is very frustrating - I am lucky I have access to all the top private doctors in London but still no answers. 

Anybody else had this? Is it globus? Is cancer rulled out with all the tests I had? Is this lockdown stress?

Please help?

Thanks
