Voice

Hi

Had a stinking cold a month ago and my voice was really hoarse . Now a month later I’m fine but at night my voice goes hoarse. . Fine in the day is this part of PMR

Thank you

Could be linked with fatigue ? I know when I am really tired I get an aching throat almost like my throat muscles are on a go slow !

After reading more info on here it’seems like it does happen. In the day I’m good but it figures by the evening when I’m tired and PMR starts to wake up . Thanks for your reply

I certainly had a hoarse voice earlier on in my PMR and found that I could no longer sing to my grandchildren. It seems to have improved now that I am on lower dose Prednisalone. Perhaps have it checked out though because it was triggered by a virus. Are you sure it wasn’t Covid?

Thanks for reply. Check a few times no COVID but after reading more on here it seems to happen to quite a few.

I have GCA rather than PMR but I have spent most of the year with a scratchy voice eventually losing it and chest infections. However I saw the nurse practitioner recently and she treated me for oral thrush due to long term steroid use. It cleared the issue with my voice completely.

My mum was a trained singer but lost her singing voice to PMR/GCA.

Could be - but if you had a stinking cold only a month ago it is early days really - as I doubt you have rested your throat 100% to let it get better!

I get this on and off, I think it's fatigue and pred. Can't quite sing like I used to!!!!
