Hi Everyone,
I need some serious help. Since elementary school my throat has hurt after singing. I have spent thousands on voice lessons from the top teachers and everytime I vocalize my throat hurts for a few days later. I am getting allergy shots once a week since I have allergies to almost everything on the list from my ent. I sometimes take zyrtec, which really dries out my throat. I have a really hard time getting a sufficient breath in and filling my diaphragm. Does anyone know of groups that meet in Los Angeles to work on this problem or know of a speech therapist who works on helping people with their vocal chord dysfunction? Also, does anyone know of any alternative treatments for postnasal drip and allergies instead of zyrtec? I am getting nosebleeds from it. I appreciate all your help.
