Laryngitis

Woke up feeling even more awful. Long story short, I have laryngitis caused by too much singing along at the gig on Saturday night.

I reluctantly rang the doctor’s about half two and managed to get an appointment with the nurse.

I have had a lot of issues with my throat in the past - laryngitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, bacterial tonsillitis. I didn’t have a temperature so was confident it wasn’t tonsillitis. I am to rest my voice for a week, no singing either!

It rained torrentially here which didn’t help my fibromyalgia. I’m on effervescent paracetamol which is helping with my laryngitis pain. Feeling very wiped out but my friends have been very kind and sent me texts and messages.

Being asthmatic, I like to be cautious as sore throats can escalate pretty quickly. I eat pretty healthily but have made more of an effort today and cut down on caffeine. Lots of honey. Resting my voice. Feeling grateful I didn’t need any antibiotics.

Unfortunately, after a very long day today, I have another long day tomorrow. I hope I can power through it. Wish me luck, I’m going to need it! Needing more sleep too.

I listened to music tonight to chill and texted one of my best friends, Rosie.

The extra is of me when I got home about half six. Shattered - filter on that photo, post hair wash and my hair got naturally curled in the relentless downpour as always! It’s wild. I just go with it now.

Thanks as always for all your kind comments, stars etc :) xx
