This is my life at the moment. Last week I started getting a wicked sore throat, which progressed into me losing my voice completely. Turns out I have laryngitis and an upper respiratory infection. I have since been jamming my body with every drug the docs throw at me and every old wives tale my neighbors and friends tell me.
Steroids: FAIL
Cayenne pepper+honey+hot water: FAIL
Halls cough drop + hot water: FAIL
Prescription cough syrup: FAIL
Dr. Pepper + OJ + cinnamon + honey + warmed up: FAIL
5 Nalgenes of water in 3 hours: TBD
The list goes on.
Pictured here are just some of what I've been using. I've also been going the last 5 days without talking, or speaking minimally, which has been a very strange experience. I now understand how the Little Mermaid felt. My deepest sympathies, Ariel.
I wouldn't be so desperate to get better if the show I happen to be the lead in weren't tomorrow night. I've only been sick for one show before, but luckily I was in the chorus and could easily blend in. That is not the case here.
I need a miracle.
