Sudden laryngitis? HELP!?

[HeatherH]

OK, do I worry about this?

About 1/2 hour ago, I was talking to my mom on the phone. My voice started going "squeaky" - within 10 minutes, I could not talk. I can feel my larynx tightening - I can still breathe :o, but talking is mostly impossible. (Thankfully I can still type).

So, what gives? I've had laryngitis before, after or with a cold, but nothing at all right now. Do I worry? Just drink liquids? Of course, dh is not home - he's at orchestra for the afternoon - sigh -

Any thoughts?

Hmm, I was going to suggest allergies or a cold, but it's obviously not sinus related. Have you eaten anything new today? Hope you feel better soon.

For a while, even swallowing was getting difficult. . . . .Yikes!

Now, all of a sudden, I can feel my voice coming back.

I'm in the land of bizarreness!
