I lost my voice shortly after my last bronchoscopy in Feb and haven't gotten it back yet. I went to an ent who went down with a camera and showed me them. He said if it clears up in a couple of weeks it's just from the frequent breathing treatments over time (4x a day for 2 weeks, 3x a day for 7 weeks now just 2x a day: albuterol then hypertonic saline). Because the stronger percentage (7%made things worse and dropping to 3, then 0.9% made it better he deduced that's the reason. I'll find out in a couple of weeks when I go back. Vocal cords can get infected with mac, aspergillosis (since I'm still positive) or yeast infections from inhaled steroids. If I'm not clear I'll have to do a biopsy.
