I have only fully developed this two other times in my life and both followed colds or other illnesses. But, as of today, this evening actually, I have no voice whatsoever.
It’s kind of nice that I can’t raise my voice, kind of relaxing. But at the same time, I can’t talk to answer questions, order food (such as at the movie theatre when I went for snacks), or dinner (which Ron had to order), etc. etc.
And, my throat hurts and my vocal chords strain even when I whisper, which is royally annoying. So far this has only lasted a day or two, so by Monday morning, I’ll probably be back to my new old self. 🙂
