Hi I also have reinke oedema. In my case most likely from.smoking. I've had it over a year and can hardly speak. Got my 2nd ent appt next month. I was given omeprazole but it didn't make any difference so not gastric in my case. Was told I might need a small op to deal with it but will find out in october.

Hi was reading doctors to keen to blame smoking WAS reading few post on throyide site and this loads never smoked and have it.

Guess main thing is to make sure doctors give you good check up.

Hope yours is better or not as bad as can be horrendous
