Speech Therapy and Training - for me!!!

[Hulababy]

I have just got back from the ENT clinic at the hospital after a doctor's referral. I have had a couple of bouts of tonsilitus and various other throat infections/problems over the past 2 or 3 years, I taught through one really bad dose of tonsilitus (silly I know) and it seems to have damage my voice in some way. I have huge problems projecting my voive, especially over the top of the pupils and the noise of the computers, etc (I teach ICT). So doctor referred me...

Had to have a horrid scope camera look down my throat,, via my nose - yuk! But fortunately there is no permanent damage or lumps and bumps there.

Consultant has given me some tablets to try and get rid of acid refluc which I have had since being pg with DD - she's now 2. Is this related somehow???

And he is referring to a speech therapist for voice training - something like singers have apparantly. Anyone had anything similar and know what'll be involved?

Go back to consultant in 2 months.

Any advice on what to expect?

TIA

Cheers. He's given me Lansoprazole capsules (it is a PPI yes), one a day, for the reflux. I have 2 months course.

Actually just read instructiosn that you should have been asked about using if taking contraceptive pill, pg or maybe pg. He didn't ask me anything like that. The first is certainly true. Might go and ask pharmacist when out tomorrow to check it'll be okay.

You know I NEVER had it before pg. Dh has always suffered, as has his dad and brother. But it kicked whilst pg and has never completely gone :(
