Why am i losing my voice so regulary?

[PinkChick]

if i go out with friends whcih is rare the following day due to talking loud above music i am very horse or even lost voice to barely a wisper..if i so much as get cold, my voice goes..i sound harsh/rough/gravelly..i dont drink very much at all even when on night out and dont smoke, but this is happening almost every month now and am getting a bit sick of it?

too much talking?

LOl, yes strong possibilty..but every month?..i am a CM so lots and lots of talking but same as any other person id guess??

I know someone who had this and got it checked by a speech therapist or an ear nose and throat specialist(privately though I think).

I think it is worth getting checked out, but there may not be much you can do about it.

i get this too, i think its linked to a sluggish lymphatic system, have you been to docs about it?

well at minute im full of cold and when i get cold i also get outer ear infections(ALWAYS!)..this cough started about 2 weeks ago and felt like a lump in my throat, now voice is hit and miss and very rough and gravelly, like vera duckworth!

Pinkchick, I lose my voice all the time. I noticed it first of all when I was pg, but it's quite often now. I assumed it was because I wasn't getting enough fluid. Not so much one big guzzle but continuously moistening my throat helps. Its definitely worse when I'm at work which I assume is the effect of air conditioning.

Perhaps you could try whispering instead of actual talking, just so you give your voice a rest?

A good few years ago this happened to me twice within a space of a couple of weeks, Dr said it was laryngitis (sp) and to whisper.

Like belgo said, tis best to get yourself checked out.

no roobis i havent, didnt think theyd take me seriously..so what is it.causes it/fixes it?

Be very careful not to overstrain your voice. I've had maryngitis several times, and it turned into croup which was very distressing (and unusal in an adult - I'd never had it as a child!)

laryngitis I mean!

head fairy i am actually drinking more at min to try and sort my skin out as all i sued to drink was fizzy stuff..i work at home so no air con, not even heating alst month or so as weather been better and get out lots through day??

belgo thats exactly how id describe it..the cough sounds like croup, its like 'something' is catching when i cough and last week through night my chest/throat was rattling when asleep, i could only clear it after making myself cough really hard to 'clear' the feling???

bellavita, i can wisper when off work but while working the children havea hard enough time listening to me when i spaek noramlly, i know what you mean though..will have to fit myself with buzzer so if i talk loud i get a shock

Hope you get something sorted soon.

thankyou..might be worth a visit to doc then next time it flares up bad(is edging out now)..thanks for your suggestions

I hope you sort it out soon. My mum had nodules on her vocal chords a few years ago and after they were fixed her surgeon said she could only talk all day or in the evening, not both, so now she comes home from work and doesn't talk to my poor dad all evening! (I think secretly he's relieved )

wow, thats scary, think i will def tone it down when normal now..poor mum!
