So a while back I started a topic about some hoarseness I was experiencing. I was worried that it was being caused by the spiro I had just started taking and that it was damaging my throat. Well, I think I may have found the cause... A couple of weeks ago my voice became more hoarse than ever before and so I decided to try using my male voice to see where the hoarseness was coming from. Before I had assumed I was losing my upper range, but after talking low I discovered that my vocal issues lied there instead. When you use a female voice you need a balanced amount of high and low tones for it to sound natural, but when I'd try talking as high as I used to before my throat issues the lower tones would drop out and I'd sound unnatural. But this didn't occur to me until today, when finally after over 3 months of having these voice issues my hoarseness had just started to go away. This morning I wanted to test the low range again to see how much hoarseness was left and when I tried using my male voice I couldn't go nearly as low as before.
So, I think I was right about the spiro causing my hoarseness, but I was wrong about why. It's just been raising the pitch of my voice, so hopefully all will be back to normal soon and I can strain less to talk. I will have to relearn how to use my voice comfortably since my vocal range has shifted, but I'm just relieved that my throat isn't damaged.

Hi Ayaname,
If I'm not wrong, since we have been taking spiro, we have to take a lot of drink of water, my doctor said spiro is a diuretic medicine, it means if we take it without taking a lot of water, it will destroy our kidney, and maybe your throat is one of the effect that your body needs some water.
Wish you luck sister Ayaname :D :D :D

Thank you for the advice, however I'm already drinking about a gallon of water a day. I have a cup next to me pretty much all day. I don't think I could drink anymore without having to forfeit eating.
