Avatar f tn In addition, sicca syndrome marks the autoimmune process of Sjogren's syndrome. Sicca is the latin word for dryness and usually refers to dry eyes and mouth. Aside from Sjogren's , sicca features can also be found in other diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic sclerosis. These cases are often called Associated Sjögren’s. Autoimmune diseases refer to the body having an immune reaction against itself.
1276940 tn?1564515084 Good afternoon.....me again lol. Just found out that I have active SICCA Syndrome with Keratoconjuctivitis. Is there any evidence that SICCA with Keratoconjunctivitis is caused by PP? I am still undergoing testing to either confirm or rule out Sjogren's. I will be undergoing a lip biopsy soon. I do have a positive RF. I am aware that a positive RF is also found in SLE, Sjogren's & RA. But I am not currently experiencing dry eyes. Every now and then they will itch or burn.
Avatar f tn Okay, since 1992 I have had lots of throat infections in 1995 I had my tonsils and adanoids removed to help however it never did. And still had aleast 7 throat infections and laryngitis a year but since January this year I have had 20suvere throat infections all with laryngitis.
Avatar n tn However, a side effect of both medications is laryngitis. I recently had laryngitis for 6 weeks. It started as a virus and would not go a way. I decided it was my atrovent neb (an anticholinergic like Spiriva). My allergist thought it was my Dulera (inhaled combination med like Advair). I eliminated the atrovent and reduced my Dulera and the laryngitis healed. She needs to discus any changes in dosage with her doctor before making changes.
Avatar f tn My 10 month old Yorkie was recently diagnosed with Keratoconjunctivitis sicca in her right eye only. Since that diagnosis, the right side of her nose is dry and she excessively drools from time to time on that side. Although she seems happy and alert, she sleeps a lot more than I would expect for a puppy her age and also easily pants under mild exertion. Could there be something else going on besides her KCS or perhaps maybe an infection of some sort is to blame for all this?
Avatar m tn Been diagnosed with Raynauds Phenomena, Sicca Syndrome, Sjogrens Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease esp. spine, Severe Varicose Veins, Sweets syndrome and Optical Scleritis. The past 5 years, short term memory and multi-tasking problems only. Is it possible to have all these diseases, or is there one disease that would explain all these symptoms?
Avatar n tn As someone who is still recovering from acid reflux laryngitis, I will say that it took MONTHS for my voice to return. My laryngitis started in October 2009 and continued into April 2010 with slight improvements starting in late February. When I was first diagnosed as acid reflux causing my laryngitis, I was told it would take at least three months to get my voice back.
Avatar f tn However I have been sick a few times since then and every time the virus turns straight into terrible laryngitis. Before the surgery I very rarely ever got laryngitis but now it comes on so easily and lasts for a while. Is there any reason that this would be connected to my thyroid surgery? Wondering if this is still part of the healing process or not? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!
Avatar f tn I have sicca syndrome problems, muscle pains in thighs at times, the sharp pricking pain has now appeared at the top of my back, sometimes the pricking pain is all over. My hair is dry and brittle, dry eyes. I had a lip biopsy which found slight inflammation only. No diagnosis. Nothing in my blood and no deficiencies I'm vitamins, no thyroid problem. I stopped finisteride in 2017. I am now at the desperation phase. I am 40, Male, from the UK.
Avatar n tn I wnet to a Doctor before getting on my return flight and he said he thought I had laryngitis likely caused by a viral infection. Therefore, he did not prescribe antibiotics. It has been about 9 days since the sexual encounter and I am wondering what my risk factors are. Could the oral sex have exposed me to an STD taht would cause a sore throat and laryngitis? If so, which STD would be most likely?
Avatar n tn I have developed a chronic dry cough & laryngitis, currently I have been dealing with symptoms for a month. I went thru same illness 5months ago was in the hospital & then passed around to various specialists without any real answers. I have done allergy testing, tests to rule out relfux, seen ENT, pulmonlogist, & family dr multiple times with not much success. No one can tell me why I got better last time, or why I am dealing with the same situation again.
Avatar n tn My son developed laryngitis about 2 months ago. It is severe so that he can not talk at all. His ENT diagnosed it as Muscular dysphonia. He is seeing a speech therapist, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. He plays Sax in the band at school and can't get enough air out to play. Any suggestions?
Avatar m tn Hello, There are many conditions which can cause difficulty in speaking at higher pitches. Voice misuse and overuse are common causes. Acute laryngitis caused by allergies, viral infection, chronic laryngitis and laryngoesophageal reflux all can cause hoarseness and voice difficulties. Rare but serious causes producing these symptoms are vocal cord paralysis and vocal cord tumours.Please see your Otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor) for an evaluation.
Avatar m tn Will this be Herpes Laryngittis/ pharyngitis? will viral Laryngitis/Pharyngitis get relief from antibiotics as I was feeling well in a day after I took them. Will Herpes Laryngitis/Pharyngitis cause no sores in the mouth, tounge or lips? Is this some kind of bacterial infection or viral infection? Any suggestions highly appreciated. I took an appointment for next week with my ENT.I see the transmission rate of 4% with unprotected sex from female to male with HSV1 genitally.
Avatar f tn It could be due to varied causes like upper respiratory tract infection like laryngitis or pharyingitis, head and neck cancer, oral cancer, reflux laryngitis in people who have acidity and GERD, muscle abnormality, voice box abnormality, polyps, tumors or weakness of voice box etc. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Avatar f tn More plausible causes of hoarseness of voice need to be checked like acute laryngitis, vocal cord nodules, allergies, gastro esophageal reflux, smoking, thyroid problems, trauma to larynx, parkinson’s disease and trauma to larynx. Consult an otolaryngologist who will evaluate the causes and treat likewise. Cough suppressants for laryngitis, treat GERD, stop smoking, vocal rest etc will make a difference. Hope this information helps you. Take care.
Avatar f tn And, the examinations, treatment and follow-up of the ENT indicate that you are receiving very good care. The ENT’s assertion that you are experiencing reflux laryngitis is probably correct, notwithstanding the opinion of your GI consultant. There is increasing evidence that GERD causes laryngeal signs and symptoms. Symptoms of reflux laryngitis include hoarseness, throat clearing, dysphagia, increased phlegm, and globus (feeling of lump in one’s throat) sensation.
Avatar f tn After one month I went to an ENT and he said it was acute laryngitis. My voice has almost returned to normal but there is a connstant tightness in my throat. If I cough the tightness goes away for a short time. It's very obvious when I try to talk. I get choked by the tightness and cough. Sometimes even after I cough I have trouble talking because of the tightness in my throat.
Avatar m tn I have no symptoms, but I did have acute laryngitis two months ago. Ever since then I had no symptoms, but I still feel skeptical when I see those veins on the back of my throat, so should I be worried?
