Hi - I have an incredible sore throat and dry cough and sometimes pain in my chest. My voice is hoarse and the hoarseness and pain in my throat increase when I speak more than a minimal amount. I sometimes have pain and burning in my upper chest. My right ear is consistently in a large amount of pain what usually increases after eating, my left ear hurts now and then. I had a neck CT and all that showed with several swollen lymph nodes and a thyroid nodule. The ENT says that he can see signs of reflux when he did the scope and believe strongly that I have a TMJ disorder. as recommended I followed up with a dentist that says I have absolutely no signs or indication that there is anything wrong with my TMJ. He also ruled out salavary stones as I seem to produce saliva properly.
I'm having a CT tomorrow. All of my blood work(ANA etc) is negative for auto-immune. These symptoms have persisted for at least 7 weeks. I have also lost a significant amount of weight. Is it still possible that I could have Sjourens based on my symptoms and will the CT confirm or deny it? Sarcoidosis? Has anyone had similar symptoms and have been diagnosed with anything?
