Hmmmmm...About 10 or so weeks ago I was stricken with a razor sore, sore throat which went into a chest infection (never got tested for Covid) it appeared to clear up but two or three weeks later I felt bad once again, but not quite so bad, so don't know if it was one infection or two. My dear wife suffered the same "two" infections at the same time as myself
Around the time of the initial infection I felt as though there was something in my throat that would not clear,like stubborn phlegm or something, and the sensation continues to this day all these weeks later.
It's weird, it's quite intermittent and "pops up" now and then only to disappear again...it's not a constant.
I ran my story by my doctor who told me to take a COVID test and if negative try Penicillin 2x250mg 4 times a day for a week. Test was negative, so, I am on day 6 of 7 of Penicillin but the "blocked throat" continues.
Doc says if the feeling does not clear up it is likely GERD....any connection, you guys, with GERD showing up on DULOXETINE use or taper?
Edit; You know, when I think back I was not very happy with the Citalopram gastro symptom ( the meds I was on just prior to Duloxetine) allsorts of pips and squeaks in stomach and the same, plus the shits, for Duloxetine term....
