one case of LARYNGITIS please

this sucks. i feel like someone took a cheese grater to my larynx.

i have no memory of any of this... laryngitis... x-men dreams... madonna at misshapes??

I practically lost my voice too. My mouth feels like a furnace and have had hardly any sleep because of catarrh in my throat. I got antibiotics and just as it starts to work i get a stinking headache so for the 3rd night in a row i cant sleep. argh

Huh. I have never seen or heard the word catarrh before. The Spanish word for the common cold is catarro Is catarrh a Briticism?

do i have to go to the doctor? cuz my GP moved to East Williamsburg.

Losing my voice occurred around the tenth day of my current cold, which means I don't know whether to take decongestants (dry out the larynx) or not.

My cancer drugs have gotten me better, but also gave me the immune system of a 90-yo.

this sucks. it's not from illness, it's from shouting at a soccer match.

recovery been slow as I train people for a living and couldn't vocal rest.

had this happen a few years ago in the Philippines due to vocal fatigue too.

9 days, and some but not much improvement. the order of operations seems to have been:

1) damage voice naturally by yelling at sporting event
2) didn't take proper care shortly after
3) bad allergies/post nasal drip showed up, causing already irritated uvula to swell
4) now most of the 'damage' from the sporting event is gone, but vocal chords is still blocked by thick-assed mucus.
5) cough has developed due to the post-nasal drip

not being able to sing for 9 days hasn't been fun. meh. Steroid seems to at least have stopped the swelling but this is hell. this is why I get on people for screaming at rock/pop musicians for cancelling shows due to vocal issues. this is what can happen.
