I have laryngitis.
Full blown laryngitis. No one can hear me when I talk. The effort of trying to make myself heard gives me a headache. My throat is rebelling.

Good thing I can still type.

:(

1. Me, too.
Haven't been able to even squeak for three days. It's SO annoying.

2. It is, isn't it?
This happened to me once before, about 10-12 years ago when I was working in radio. I thought my voice was NEVER coming back, and it was the source of great anxiety.

Today, my livelihood doesn't rest on my voice, but it's still very annoying.

3. I have it too.
Edited on Sat Mar-05-05 10:34 PM by MrOctober
When I went to my campus cafe earlier this evening, and I went up to the counter, I couldn't get any words out to the guy. I said something like "have cha please". And he was like what? And I barely managed to sputter out the words mocha please. I've totally lost most of my voice and the coughing is awful.

hope you get better soon

4. I'm sorry you others have it too, but
I'm kind of relieved to know I'm not the only one.

6. That's annoying!
I hope it gets better soon!

I'm way too verbal and when I can't talk it drives me mad. :)

I used to get laryngitis a couple of times a year.
I don't anymore, dunno why...

14. Are your kids doing things that aggravate you on purpose...
...because you can't yell at them?

I hope you feel better soon.
