I've lost my voice

[melody]

I caught a cold and woke up sans voice this morning.

I need to be back at work tomorrow night, with my voice.

Any remedies?

[G]

Hot bath and bed :cool:

Has it just randomly dissapeared or have you got a killer throat with it?

[Ed]

Gargle with diluted TCP. It's disgusting but it definitely works.

[gettin2dizzy]

You shouldn't scream

[G]

Ice cream mmmmm

[gettin2dizzy]

What do you need your voice for at work? Take an etch-a-sketch instead :)

Hot bath and bed :cool:

Has it just randomly dissapeared or have you got a killer throat with it?

Yep, my throat feels as rough as sandpaper.

[wyrdness]

Phone in sick :D

Sorry, I couldn't hear you, speak up! Have you lost your voice or something ;)

A girl at my school when i was in year 11 lost her voice through having a cold.

I tok the chance to call her as many names as possible, knowing she couldnt tell me to stop. And when she tried, all she could muster up was a little squeek

Anywho, not sure about remedies. It'll come back qwhen its all healed...just keep wrapped up and have plenty of fluids I guess.

get well soon!

What is it you do? Have I read right in the past you are a nurse?

If so I would have though going into work ill puts vulnerable people at risk. However, if you need to work as sick pay has stopped.... sod them unfortunately, look after yourself first.

[Alpinestarhero]

Gargle with soluble aspirin? Should kill the apin a little and reduce any swelling?

There's a joke here concerning '********', but i'm too classy to mention it. :)

Wow the filter covers f*llatio.....i'm genuinely impressed!

[Biker Biggles]

Aspirin for the throat,and something with lots of garlic in it to cure the problem.
As for going sick,you will know thats a whole can of worms in the NHS and has absolutely nothing to do with protecting vulnerable patients from infected staff.
Lemsip for getting through the shift BTW.

I usually find consuming alcohol has me burbling like a three-badge rock-ape in no time (well, almost) - sometimes in languages people have never heard of before!!

[Richie]

Sooths the throat in no time,


So I've been told......:-$;):smt077
Don't Belive it myself....... but hey, you necer know!!!

[caz650s]

Hi Melody....

Try slices of fresh lemon and a spoonfull of runny honey in a mug of hot water .......or pickled onions ! :D

Hope you feel better soon !

[drefraser]

Have you looked behind the sofa?

[Ed]

Hope you're feeling better today:D

[melody]

So last night I gargled with TCP and soluble paracetamol.

Today I woke up with a squeak. Well it's better than no voice completely.

So I have some lemsip to see me through my shift tonight and hopefully I won't have to shout too much tonight.

[JessicaRabbit]

Hope you feel better today, but click here (http://health.yahoo.com/respiratory-treatment/laryngitis-home-treatment/healthwise--ue5051.html) for a couple of suggestions. The humidifier suggestion is a really good one, especially for when you're sleeping... if you can stand the noise the things make!

[melody]

Woo hoo, my voice is back.

I've been whispering for the past few days, but tonight I can actually shout loudly at the women and tell them to push harder rather than using sign language.

Shhh! everyone's in bed... :wink:


Glad you're better Mel :D

Good good, but I've got a cold now. So just had a really hot pasta thing. Burn them pesky bugs out.

On a brighter note your bikes nearly better, headlights should have arrived today.
Will probably venture home friday or saturday and it will only take a few hours to finish off.
