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?

Thanks all for your support! This place is indeed still the best!

Well, great news...I am not dying from any awful cancer, MS related voice problem...etc. (Thank G-d).

I have VERY BAD Thrush in my vocal cords!  In fact, it was so bad, I need to go back in 3 weeks to have them take another look.  If still not fully resolved, the doc will take a biopsy to make sure what is going on. So, who knows...I am hugely relieved, although in pain, but so happy it is nothing that hopefully cant correct itself.  I am on meds for 2 weeks in the hopes this clears up.

Funny, I was had thrush when I was really sick a few years back in hospital.  My immune system is down, Tysabri helps me out with that one :(, so now I guess thrush can visit.

It is not in my mouth tho, only in my vocal cords.

So thats it, and thanks again.  Means so much to have all you wonderful folks on my side :)
