Okay, I'm 21, on the 7th August, I had a severe asthma attack and was put into an induced coma and put on life support (machine that breathes for me). I was in the coma until the 14th August. I was allowed home on the 20th August. It is now the 2nd September. I have had my voice back for around 6 days now but it's weak, and I feel worn out if I talk too much. I can't talk loud or shout etc. Does your voice usually come back quiet then gradually go back to normal or what happens? Please let me know! Thank you so much!

  1. people who get intubated(i had been, just for surgery) especially for several days can end up having raspy voice.The tube can damage the vocal folds,and some people get "vocal cord paralysis".your voice is back at least.
