Is it common to get laryngitis with aps?

I have what seems like laryngitis for 4 weeks now. I'm struggling to talk for long. I'm seeing my ENT doctor Thursday for my ears and hope he will help with my throat (probably won't because it's ear clinic). Just wanted to say I haven't had any sort of virus before this

I'm just wondering if aps can affect the throat. I know lupus does but I haven't got that and aps and lupus seem to share a lot of the same problems

APS and Thyroid are linked and if you have issues with your thyroid you can have hoarse voice or feelings that are uncomfortable like swallowing. I’d let the Ent do what he has to with your ears and if he’s any good should notice your voice and ask about it, if not you should tell him and see what he says. He may not have the suitable equipment to exam your throat so be prepared to take it further.

Yes I will definitely tell him. He operated on me back in April and this problem started then but not as bad as it has been the last 4 weeks.

Hi, yes a good idea to check out neck re Thyroid, Thyroid problems can give you a voice change, to more husky, and if you have anything like a goiter that can also impact you. I hope you find out. There are some viruses circulating that seem to take a long time to clear up, so that might be a factor also. MaryF
