hiya there...first off do you smoke atall?? if not are you around others that do for a substantial amount of time...if not to both questions then go to your gp whom will defer you im sure to an ent specialist, it could be like me over a certain amount of years you havent been using your voice box properly, i know it sounds abit weird but i was amazed when i had a test and i had to hummm and argghh whilst he looked at me throat and i was told i didnt use it properly only half of it and i was sent to a speech therapist at 34!!! i didnt even know i wasnt using it right!! i was also told to drink lots of water and steam over a bowl frequently and it does help, i have surgery coming up this thursday on me adenoids and sepotoplasty and im hoping again after that my voice will improve even further!!anyway take care and i hope you get it sorted soonxx

Thank you. And just to answer your question I never smoked and I dont hang out with people who smoke. So what should I do now to get my voice back?

I know exactly how you feel. I am 25, I have also had voice problems for the last 2 years. Nothing hurts, but it feels like my throat is throbbing. I do have a voice but it is raspy, I definetly cant perceive my voice to anyone out loud. I also noticed when I have a cold, my voice sounds better, or once in a blue moon my voice will sound better then go back to raspy. I have been to an ENT, he said it could be heart burn, gave me the purple pill..that didnt help, plus I dont have frequent heart burn, tried it a few months..no effect. I'm not doctor but I think its my tonsels...but I think your experiencing exactly what I am.

Why did you stop taking the medication that was helping you/

Well, I didn't really notice a change. i'm about to ask for another prescription for nexium though. Just because I'm in despiration to try anything to get my voice back. What is even harder is that I'm actually a Customer Service Supervisor and haven't had my normal voice in 2 years.
