PLZ ADVISE-PARALYZED VOCAL CORD RETURNED
Last year I developed flu symptoms...fever 102 for 2 days, chills, achy, hoarse. All cleared up within a week except the hoarseness which got worse until I only had a whisper. Went to Cleveland Clinic & saw 2 wonderful docs who taught me voice therapy after they did CT SCAN. They were going to inject my vocal cord, but I continued to get better so they released me. This was Oct or Nov of 2016. Now it’s 2018, & I’m frightened b/c it all came back: flu symptms & NO VOICE.
