Chronically lost voice - any advice?

[PugBex]

Hi, I'm fairly new here. I just wanted to know if anyone has advice for getting a chronically lost voice down to (probable) ME back? I've recovered pretty well and I'm no longer severe, but I still have no voice :/ It's really frustrating. I can whisper without pain, but anything above that hurts and feels like there's a pressure pushing down on my throat. I'm really unsure what to do because the Internet says that even for a voice lost due to a sore throat you shouldn't whisper because it can damage your vocal cords. But I was wondering that maybe if I start using it all the time to whisper that the pain will eventually stop? I just don't know. Any advice? Has anyone experienced this before?

Thank you so much for reading, and any replies or advice is appreciated

Can't say I've experienced that myself, have you spoken with a Dr?

Yes I have, but they've never been much help :/ They didn't do anything apart from a quick look at my throat with a tourch, but they couldn't find anything :/ I orginally lost it because of energy, but now I've got more energy and I'm getting better, my voice just isn't :/

If you are in the UK or Ireland maybe you could contact Dr William Weir and see if he can come up with a solution. He is a leading light in the ME field and has helped me considerably.
