Is it Globus?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello all, I have just found this website after being diagnosed with Globus by my doctor two days ago. For the last three weeks I have felt that there is something stuck midway in my throat. If I had to describe it I would say it feels like a flap of tissue, when I cough it seems to move up and then slide back down, sometimes I feel it on the right and sometimes on the left. I do not have any pain or problems swallowing food as yet. I am also experiencing repeated cramping of the muscles in my throat and neck and I am sure that this is due to anxiety as it appeared after I started to suspect throat cancer. My doctor was very dismissive he had a quick look in my mouth felt around my neck and told me it was globus hytericus. I am 40 and have smoked for 20 years however this did not seem to concern my doctor. Should I go back and demand an appointment with an ENT specialist or take my doctors word and try and forget it? I am so scared that it might actually be cancer.

    Hi

    They are still in the dark age so they will put a camera up your nose to look at the back of your throat and find nothing. Then they will put a camera down your windpipe (it is almost laughable) and find nothing. Once you have been told it is nothing you might find that it will instantly go away.

    You get this condition because of the media advertising cancer caused by smoking it is psychological. Or maybe one of your folks died of throat cancer from smoking? This is the power of thought. You can make yourself ill just with thought. 

    But I can give you a cure for it without you going to ENT who are basically all complete and utter clowns, who know nothing about Globus Hytericus 

    They get paid hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and they will tell you it is all just in your mind and to live with it. After ten years you will have had enough and will feel depressed and hopeless and at the end of your tether, you will have spent thousands on throat tablets and mouth washes all to no avail. 

    Don't worry, I have the most advanced medical knowledge on planet earth and can cure practucally any disease. 

    Today I will help you to cure your Globus 

    Go out and buy a bottle of Malibu. Fill a glass with it neat and sip it down. 

    Malibu is made up of the chemicals that you need to cure your condition. 

    It is also advisable to make sure your car seat belt is not being worn across your neck when driving or across any of the muscles that connect to your neck. I would not advise not wearing it all together but maybe a week on it under your arm pit will help. 

    Good luck old Son
