Voice going and dribbling

[hrp98]

This sounds a bit gross but today while I was teaching, my speech felt a bit slurred and I was dribbling . I not sure how noticeable it was to anyone else but I could definitely sense it. My voice keeps disappearing even though I don’t have a cold or sore throat. I have been under medicated and was just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same kind of symptoms. The GP has agreed to increase my dose of levothyroxine and so hopefully things will start to improve.

In your post/thread of 5 months ago it was suggested B12 & Folate should be tested. A B12 result below 500 could present with neurological issues. Did you have them tested ?

Check out Vagus Nerve too 😊

What was your dose and how much increased by?

You should be retested after 6-8 weeks on new dose. Ask for B12 and folate to be tested, as well as ferritin (was low in recent post)

I was on 100 now increased to 125 as of a couple of days ago. I will ask for the other things to be tested too. Thanks

If your voice keeps failing ask to be referred to an ENT and have your voicebox and throat checked. Hypo can cause problems with voice.
