#1Getting over being sick... where's my falsetto?!
Posted: 2/11/09 at 11:39amSo I was sick for the last almost 2 weeks with a really bad cold/cough--and I'm still coughing, but just a little now. When I was at my sickest, I would sometimes lose my voice completely (never had happened before), but over the last week and a half, I've been recovering and have gotten my voice back. I still have no falsetto right now... I've been back to almost 100% for the last 4 days... is it normal for me to still not have *any* of my falsetto back?

Posted: 2/11/09 at 12:35pmLol I had whistle tones until I was about 16, and then just lost them. I still have a falsetto, but I want my whistle tones back! (not that I'd ever use them, but still...)

Posted: 2/11/09 at 1:47pmAlright--I'm pretty sure it's safe to say it isn't puberty that's making this happen. My voice changed about 5 years ago... I'm asking is it normal to not have falsetto for several days after having been sick?

Posted: 2/11/09 at 1:53pmSometimes sickness changes your voice.

Posted: 2/11/09 at 1:55pmIf you had completely lost your voice, then yes, it is normal to get your regular voice back before you falsetto. It's happened to me before, at least.

Posted: 2/11/09 at 1:58pmSorry i was being silly- it could be a temporary thing, it could last a while or it could be permanent. Maybe a visit to the doctor is in order.

Posted: 2/11/09 at 2:19pmSo I've heard. I'm sure it's lovely but I'm looking for something with a little more room.
