I've been losing my voice on and off since September. This is the hardest thing I've had to deal with as a streamer. It impacts me physically and emotionally, and it affects my stream. The first time it happened, it was caused by coughing too much while sick, and a convention. -

I couldn't stop streaming entirely, and constant use of my voice extended the healing time way beyond what it should have been. The next few times were due to silly karaoke streams without warming up. Mistakes that I've learned from, but it's still so disheartening. -

Specialists are so hard to get to with how our healthcare system is set up, so a throat doctor is currently out of the question. I'm really hoping it'll heal soon, and that nothing is permanently damaged. Talking shouldn't hurt. I'm sorry for all of the short streams lately :<

I'm so sorry Naomi :c i really hope you'll find a solution. I'm not someone who believes in ghosts but I actually tried Chinese medicine for a condition of mine no doctor had an answer to, and it fixed so many things for me without rly expecting it first. Maybe u want to try it!

Well basically their approach is that issues can come from completely different parts of the body since everything is connected. My chinese med doctor first of all talked to me and asked me about my mental health as well. It was already great because someone actually listened -

Then she composed a herbal tea for me with many different ingredients which I had to drink 2x per day (tasted awful :D) and we also did acupuncture sessions. I completely underestimated how relaxing it is. After like 2 months with a session every 2 weeks it started to get better

A friend if mine actually told me about it because she regularly bled from her ear D: and no one could tell what it was. She was desperate at that point and gave it a shot. And it went away. She now goes once per year or so for a checkup/refresh and I was intrigued bc of her :0

People can really underestimate how much a happy body and happy mind can impact various illnesses and problems within the body! I've been taking a lot of steps to make my life less stressful and more healthy, but if I plateau I'll definitely look into help like this! Thank you

Anytime, Naomi! I really hope you'll find something that helps permanently <3 to me, it just makes a lot of sense because local fixes are not equal to global fixes for the body, and I like the connected approach. I'm crossing my fingers for you!
