Looking for some good thoughts today...

Well, I have had a "new" issue come up, again. For the last 3 months or so, I have been hoarse intermittently. At times, I "lost" my voice for a short time, but always came back, just hoarse.

Well, fast forward until now.  I have had NO, ZERO, NONE voice for 5 days.  I am no longer hoarse, just nothing there. I carry a pad/pencil around all day. Went to PCP last week, who was a bit alarmed.  I am not "sick" by the way.

I had an appt scheduled with ENT last Thursday, but the office canceled it and rescheduled to this Thursday.

I can not wait. My sister is calling for me when they open, and I will be seen today.  I feel this is an emergency at this point.  I don't care what doc, or what facility, I just need to be seen by someone today.

My PCP says it could be a number of things, from minor to major.  I am praying for a "virus" or polyps. I am hoping it is nothing more serious.  My PCP also said this can happen with MS.  I am also praying hard that it isn't that as well.  

Just an update here...please send good thoughts and maybe a prayer my way?

Yep, advair Alex! Was the thrush in your vocal cords?? It is not in my mouth, probably cause I always rinse and spit after.

Are you on advair by chance? I got a super nasty case of thrush when my immune system was kicking in.

Absolutely check with him first.  It's very safe and should not interfere with anything but there's no harm in checking first.

Just be aware that it's considered a homeopathic and most docs will poo-poo those and tell you they don't work.  I'm here to tell you that it does.  I wouldn't want you to not be sure it's okay, tho.  :)

Good luck and I hope you feel better SOON!

Be well!  :)

I just re read your post. I am going to get it and swallow.  I was going to PM you today and ask u just that. Gonna go order on Amazon now.  I should"probably" adk my doc about it, I am on lots of meds and dont want this to interfere with it.

I will probably call doc before I take it, just to be on the safe side.  It sounds like it will help me so much though.

Thanks again,
Michelle

That's why I said to swallow it.  Once it gets in the digestive system, it will hunt out those little candida germs and knock 'em out even if it doesn't get them on the way down.  I'm telling ya this is powerful stuff!  I've used it for years on all sorts of yeast infections (yes, even those!) as well as many other things.  It will knock out a kid's ear infection better than anything you can get from a doc!  Sinus infection, tummy flu, boo-boos on skinned knees, etc., etc., etc.

DISCLAIMER:  I am not a paid spokesperson nor do I play one on TV.

Best of luck and, please don't get a side effect from the GSE.  I would feel just terrible!  :)

Thanks for the Tip regarding Grapefruit seed extract. There is a store near me that just might have it.

Not sure if it will work, as the thrush in not in my mouth, but way down in the vocal cords. When I had thrush before in the hospital, it was a "swish and spit" type of med that took care of it.  The doc told me that wont help, cause the thrush is too far down.

never hurts to try...although with my luck, I would get a side effect from the grapefruit seed and so on and so on.... ;)

Thanks again!
