Dysphonia

[Shel]

Hi, I’ve experienced this before and now again. When I’m tired and have talked a lot, like yesterday, hosting Easter dinner, my voice gets “tired” and strained. I’ve heard this can happen. Fatigue can affect vocal cords. Anybody else? Have a sunny day

 

[Auriel]

yeah, but I got thyroid too, so that probably adds. Have a sunny day, too (it's really cold in Wales 2day + a bit dark)

 

[Shel]

So does something with your thyroid affect your voice? I’m looking into my thyroid.

 

[Auriel]

Yes! !

 

[Shel]

Interesting. So far my panels are all good. Just the non suspicious nodule. Do you have hypo thyroid or what is your issue? Thanks!!

 

[Auriel]

I'm hypothyroid, but I'm autoimmune, so it means they were giving me the usual ts3 ts4 things and nothing was showing up (yet I was having all the symptoms of hypo) so they did whats know as a reverse blood test and it showed up as autoimmune

 

[Shel]

I’m sorry you deal with so many health concerns . Lately I’m feeling overwhelmed, with all of this and then cancer. Thankfully, the cancer has been ok. I have a reconstructive surgery today. Thanks for listening.
This is very helpful. Thank you so much!!

Oh my god you had cancer too!!! I had an operation to remove mine about 7 weeks ago (I got oncology visits next) Good luck with the surgery (I hope it went well) it's night time now so you've probably already had it done

 

[Shel]

Wow! Let’s talk. WHEre do you live? Mine was stage zero breast cancer. I opted for a mastectomy because of several factors. All has went extremely well. No radiation or chemo. I will add you to my prayers.

Thankyou shel , i live in wales uk, (I kept it quiet off the forum for a bit) only 1 knew about it (cos they offered if I wanted to talk about anything I could pm them, and I was scared) was yours brca? (Mine was gaeny) I had cell changes 3, then by the time I had my operation and histology came back they said there was cancer too, (I'd gone a year in pain while the lady drs denied what it was (so I went for a 2nd opinion with onother dr out of the area and they put me on a waiting list for a specialist) also sorry if I woke you up from replying to earlier messages (sometimes I forget the time differences)

It’s just 630 pm
What is gaeny? Mine was dcis-contained in milk duct. I suppose the Forum doesn’t like us discussing other things. Do you do Instagram?

 

[Auriel]

I don't instagram, no, we are allowed to talk about other things, (I made a point of asking when I joined), plus I'm a forum supporter so when I do go off topic I put more money in the forum box, gaeny = gaenycoligy, ok, take care, hope you have a speedy recovery, my headaches are starting again so I'm gonna take some painkillers,

 

[Shel]

Reach out if you need any support from Mn usa

 

[Auriel]

So sweet, thankyou,

Hi @Auriel I have just seen your post about your cancer diagnosis. I'm so sorry to read this. Glad they've caught it and you're on the mend
