Just started w/this finger twitch on my right index finger yesterday. I have CTS. Doc says just to do hand exercises. Does anyone know if this is related or if I really need to do something about it? I've done some research and some things sound really freaky. Like from here: http://www.healthboards.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-27504.html Yes...I should go see the doc but I just wanted to know if anyone else knows about this or has had experience? AND...I'm hoping it just goes away. :D Also, I've recently have had those "claw-like" deformity just in that hand too. And, no pains or anything in my 4th or 5th fingers. Kinda sounds like an ulnar nerve dysfunction...maybe?

I don't know what is going on here, but I had to take my grand-daughter to the clinic for a physical. The next day I had a very high fever & swollen throat & sore ears. The fever is gone now, but I am left with a ton of mucous. My throat still feels swollen, yet is not painful. The problem now, is that everytime I try to swallow, be it saliva, water, juice & especially food, it comes OUT MY NOSE!! So I am left with this sensation of drowning. I am unable to talk as when I try to string more than a few words together I have a sensation that mucous is pushing out my nose. Yet my sinuses seem to be clear when I breathe - my nose is not stuffy at all!! I am coughing constantly! I cannot drink. I cannot eat. I am worried! Last night I actually tried to eat some soup, but every time I did, chunks of noodles literally came out my nose. Then I am left choking & gasping, thinking I am going to die if I try to eat. This is the SECOND time I have had this kind of cold in 6 months. I have never been one for fevers, yet BOTH times, I had a high fever & both times I thought I was going to die if I ate or drank. The dr I saw the last time said it was viral, because of the fever, so nothing was prescribed for it. I just don't know what to do!! I would have begun a new thread, but can't figure out how. Your forum seems different here. Not alot of members either, so I doubt anyone will know what's happening to me!
