I was diagnosed with Recurring Respiratory Papillomatosis in 2017. Prior to the diagnosis, I spent over a year seeing many different specialists to help rid the hoarse voice, constant clearing of throat, feeling like something was in my throat and the acid reflux. I went to an allergist, had allergy testing, had asthma testing, had an MRI, started speech therapy, and prescribed a variety of medications to relieve the symptoms.
I was referred to the ENT dept when I was diagnosed with RRP. Between 2017 and 2019 I went through 4 surgeries and getting ready for my 5th. I am an older adult with this recent diagnosis and still trying to learn and live with this.
