I woke up this morning and I could not
hold a cup of coffee or a bottle of water.
I had a headache. I have dropped 5 cups
of coffee and 3 bottles of water. My
hands and arms just suddenly jerk. I had
a cigerette go flying across my living
room into my kitchen. Does anyone have a
clue what these symptoms may be related
to. I'm having trouble writing this
question. I am 46 years old, a female
and I have had larengytis for 5 weeks.
Last night I had trouble swallowing.
Thank you, gramimi

Hey gramimi, how are you doing?
Some cases of dysphonia can require
surgical intervention. Also, the "no
smoking" sign is up.
Absolute voice rest is essential as
determined by the physician. Bed rest in
a well-humidified room and quantities of
fluids are also indicated.
Chronic dysphonia can start out as a virus
that causes chronic laryngitis. Some
voice changes can signal disorders such as
vocal cord polyps or the onset of cancer
or other diseases, so that it is important
to pinpoint the source of the problem
promptly.
The interruption of air flow results in
staccato, jerking, labored speech.
Occasionally, vocal spasms can abduct or
separate the vocal folds resulting in
breathy voice breaks (abductor spasmodic
dysphonia).
Mortality is obviously related to the main
disease with which chronic laryngitis is
associated. In some cases,
gastroesophageal reflux can cause chronic
hoarseness.
