just interested to know why i have lost my voice

[lulumama]

Afternoon all..

got a stinking cold on Christmas eve..poorly with it xmas day, but better boxing day, although my voice started to disappear..but in that gravelly 0898 number sort of way....! IFYKWIM!! yesterday was the same ,but today i can barely croak and speak above a whisper!!

why?? very hard to tell DS off! throat a bit sore, but not very bad...where has my voice gone?

This happened to me! I had the beginnings of a cold a few days before Christmas, which went away, then on Boxing day morning I started losing my voice and we've all got colds again... PITA isn't it?!

it is...don;t feel too ill... but very inconvenient not being able to talk!

If you want it back temporarily, eat a spoonful of brown sauce. Seriously, this works!

can i have it with chips, or does it need to be on its own!!

found out why i have lost my voice!! i have laryngitis.not a cold !! penicillin and instructions to lie down and eat chocolate, from my lovely GP!

have you tried the brown sauce trick yet?

erm...no...

am sticking to the chocolate trick!! but if i do, i;ll let you know! is it a teaspoon or a dessert spoon??

Big teaspoon or small desert spoon if you can bare it. But it does work honest. Actors do it to get through performances.

right... if my voice stil like this tomorrow. i will try it and report back !
