[HANASHIR:15419] Re: Of Larynxgitis

[Carol Boyd Leon <cbleon...>]

Using prednisone for laryngitis can have its drawbacks.  The last time I had 
laryngitis and really needed my voice for singing, I went on it, too, as I'd 
done before.  But this time it allowed other problems to develop -- namely, 
an ear infection.  So I paid for having a voice on Shabbat by having an 
earache the next day plus additional doctor's bills....

Life's really not fair, is it?

Hello fellow singers,
   If you are suffering from laryngitis, and getting very close to the 
holidays,  I go to my ENT, and get on a 6 day pack of prednisone.  It works 
wonders, and as long as this is not used alot, there will not be any 
long-lasting side effects.  I have had to on this "stuff" for many a 
holiday, since September and October are very bad allergy times for me.  It 
is the wonder drug for singers!!!!!!!  Francine Berg  Syracuse
