back in late December, and much of January, I had really bad laryngitis and felt like absolute s*** for the longest time. It went away for about a week, but came back a week later. Difference was I didnt feel sick but my throat was still scratchy, was losing my voice easier (still am). Eventually went to the doctor to refer me to a specialist. Finally got in today and I found out nothing wrong with me or my vocal chords (and I don't have a tumor, thanks Doc), but the effects of laryngitis can sometimes, in worse cases, take up to 6 months to fully get better . So now I might be losing my voice on the regular and having a scratchy voice for another 5 months, f*** me.

But at least I don't have cancer

That sounds like a super extreme scenario though, like people having the hiccups for years. Doesnt laryngitis usually go away within a week or two?

I mean he used a scope to look at my throat so I'll just have to take his word that I got super unlucky with my recovery time

And yeah the first time it went away in 2 weeks but then came back and kinda been sticking around in random intervals since. Sleep and Warm water usually reset its strength

Hot toddys are great for that too. Whiskey, hot water, lemon and honey.

Lemon and honey part sounds great

having another man look at ya throat
(get well soon tho fr)

Welp, my husband just got a great job offer from the hospital we've been waiting to hear from for a week, and he accepted. Moving in 2-3 weeks.

Goodbye Kentucky, hello Ohio

hiccups....for years?!?

No bullshit i would commit sudoku after the first week

How many moves ago was the domestic disaster above you? Or is that what you're about to move away from? Feels like I see you post about moving states every few months

Yea i'd rather live with this scratch in my throat for the rest of my life then hiccups for even a couple days

That was in Boston.

We were in Boston from June-Oct. Then we moved to Kentucky in Nov. Then my husband's corporate overlords really f***ed him over 4 weeks ago, and he started looking for other jobs. Now he just found a great one in Columbus, Ohio with a much better community and facility.

But you're right, i have been talking about moving a lot lately, cause his a****** former company moved us twice in 6 months And if he would've stayed with them, they would've moved us TWO MORE TIMES before 2023.

Same I hate that s***. Everytime I get the hiccups I immediately start doing every remedy in the book.

I'll always swear by holding your breath and swallowing (or trying to swallow). Idk if it works, but i always do it until i dont have them anymore lol

damn bro i stressed over moving 3 times in 3 years, but in the same city (one of the times it was like 4 blocks ), I couldnt imagine moving state to state in such a short amount of time. goddamn

dude having the hiccups for a couple hours is f***ing scary haha I remember eating some sea salt and pepper Kettle chips that triggered the hiccups for what felt like the whole day, I was going nuts

You both work in health care?

sometimes I’ll drink something for a min and that takes it away but I usually just hold my breath for 15 seconds

I'm howling at the final two from that CLB survivor thread. What a terrible album

It's crazy how well swallowing a spoonful of sugar works for me. I only do that if holding my breath doesn't work though.

Currently in ohio, come visit
