hope you feel better soon!
I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

#My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.
#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.
#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -
#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.
#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.
#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!
#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.
#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.
#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)
#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!
#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl
#So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!
#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume
#but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice
#and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.
#Isn't the human body fascinating?
#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.
#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.
#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.
#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.
#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.
#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!
