It has been 3 days of whispering at best. I have laryngitis. I'm not exactly sure where it came from....
According to WebMD it is caused by:
1. cold or flu ---------> i had the flu 2 weeks ago
2. acid reflux -----------> i supposedly have this but refuse to believe it
3. overuse of voice ------------> i talk to people for a living
4. irritation from allergies or smoke -------------> this is always a possibility
Something funny that I have noticed since losing my voice is that people speak very quietly to me. In fact everyone that speaks to me whispers or almost whispers. It is quite interesting. And then half way through our conversation they say out loud to me, "wait. why am i whispering?" and I just shrug my shoulders and move along.
I've been prescribed 4 different things all designed to help me get better. I'm not allowed to work for 2-3 more days. And I'm not supposed to talk at all..... even whisper. I realize now how difficult my life would be if I was mute.
Hopefully I will have my voice back by the weekend.
Wish me luck!
