Laryngitis (at least I can talk on MN) - any relief tips

[mistressmiggins]

Feel v sorry for myself

Laryngitis since Monday; sore throat & cough since weekend

also have sore tongue which is reoccuring so dr has taken blood tests for anemia

have to stamp my foot to get childrens' attention - DS keeps telling everyone he meets that "mummy's lost her voice"

mistress miggs

i know it is horrid but it does help

wishing you a speedy recovery
hugs

friends & collegues have been laughing at me (Im a chatterbox in RL)

but its really painfull and frustrating

complete rest of voice is impossible espceially with 2 young children
bedtime stories are pictures & pointing !!

dr says should be better by weekend !!!!

I've had it. When i called up the NHS helpline (i managed to talk enough) the woman suggested face over bowl of hot steaming water (careful not to scold face) with a towel over head trick. Seemed to work for me :)

Oh no! So sorry. But I must admit the image of you stamping for your childrens' attention cracked me up.

Hope you are better soon.

How are you otherwise? How is your x-twat behaving? Does he pick up the kids? And has SHE met them? Sorry, if it's none of my business. Just haven't seen you in a while.

thanks girls
good advice as usual

so hard not talking !!
DS is reading to ME at bedtime & poor DD (21 mths) just looks at pictures while I point

hi uwila
ex is picking kids up from my parents - havent spoken or seen him for over a month
I did this cos ex told me he enjoyed speaking to me daily cake & eat it comes to mind

better for me & kids r fine as my parents house is 2nd home

I believe SHE hasnt seen them as IL not too keen to meet her yet

once a fortnight he has them for about 6 hrs and the other forntight he picks up Fri lunchtime & drops back Sun afternoon

Sounds like your doing a nice job of moving on and regaining your strength -- and happiness too I hope.

When I was at Uni I had laryngitis, and I was a tlker in class, and I was so frustrated cause I couldn't answer any of the questions. Oh it was so frustrating. I do sympathise.

my laryngitis isnt any better (if not worse)

how on earth can you rest your voice when you have 2 young children stupid DR

he said it would be better by today but its worse if anything. My throat feels like someone has cut it open

at least I have MN - I cant talk in RL - who says MN is not as good as RL friends
