I appreciate all the kind messages. You have no idea how much it means. I know to many I seem like I have it together all the time but I’m only human. Losing my voice for a month+ has really worn me down.

I'm on this exact path! ENT suggested it might be due to acid reflux. So I'm on a 14-day treatment for that. Definitely going to look into speech therapy afterwards.
Mine said it could be that too (redness), but I didn't have the rest of the symptoms, so I was confused and looked to an SLP (not always the same as speech therapist). People who study airways, the larynx, the voice, the whole shebang rather than just speech. I had issues for 9..

months, intense pain swallowing, difficulty breathing, it was an absolute nightmare. And 1-2 months of straw exercises, proper breathing, occasional warmups, and talking strongly knowing nothing was actually broken inside me did that whole decent-speed recovery thing :)

So absolutely look into that ASAP if your acid reflux treatment doesn't help and your ENT has no better ideas - I have a whole pack of unused acid reflux pills because I doubted that diagnosis.
