South Lebanon, OH

I have been hoarse lately and at first thought it was allergies or a cold but no allergy or cold meds help and there are never any other allergy or cold symptoms either other than hoarseness that never goes away. I asked my GP about it and she said MS can affect vocal cords too :/ not too happy about this as I like to secretly sing, no one knows I sing except close friends and family but I do like to do that

Yes, Cincinatalie, I also have COPD, my inhalers, and nebulizer prescription if I don't rinse my mouth and gargle with salt water I get hoarse. I use Himalayan salt for that and most of my salting needs. Interesting to discover that so many things I think are caused by one thing could also be caused by my MS! I learn something new everyday!

Yes, Cincinatalie. I get hoarse a lot. All I do is gargle with salt water or vinegar. Sometimes it works and other times it don't. Sometime I don't know what to do?

Hi Natalie- I've experienced random changes with my vocal cords. My voice being grainy or even cracking like I'm going through puberty ๐Ÿ˜†. Except I'm a 42 year old female. Haha! Doesn't happen very often, but I know what you're talking about.
