I can only speak from my own experience and a disappearing voice (when not sick) has not been the case with me. I believe some day, God will have all His children singing His praises in our new glorified bodies - and in perfect pitch!
Maybe we all just aren't supposed to sing.lol I think somewhere I read once that singing was one of the triggers in dysautonomia. It may have been on the dinet site.
I am also finding my voice just disappears if I talk or sing even for a short time. Not laryngitis its just gone. Don't know if that's from dysautonomia or ms though.
For a time, I seem to remember feeling short on oxygen in church standing singing too. Haven't noticed much if at all of that lately. But I also have had to cut back on singing due to arthritis in my jaws and jaw discs displacement (one is torn).
That made me laugh. I think God was giving me the same message about singing...I like to think I have a good voice, but i know deep down...it's awful! :). My boys tell me I'm the only mom who thinks the radio is my backup singers. Yes, and no more scary movies for me. It just does awful things to my system. It actually happened during that James Bond film a few years ago too, so incredible. It wasn't even that much of a high anxiety film. Good luck and feel better soon.

Tkimber-thanks nice to know its not just me. I always loved things fast paced, loved scary movies, action type things. Now can't do. Singing also bothers me. I thought maybe it was Gods way of telling me not to sing.lol Just kidding. I wonder if maybe it does a vasovagal thing causing the symptoms.
I am very sensitive to many meds which is why I am always hesitant to try something new. My Dr finally realized this about me and he is fairly understanding now. I just hate this wired up feeling I so often get.

Hello. I saw your post about anxious feeling being worse during certain situations. I have this also and can't watch high anxiety films or tv shows. Once during church service when I was singing I blacked out. Had to call the ambulance. So silly, but I think I was doing something strange to my oxygen when I stand up for too long and sing and also it does something stange to my blood pressure. But It's usually the singing. But loud noises or too much stimulation is just awful for me. Never used to be, I was the first one to a loud concert in the day. Such a change of life. Hang in there. Just wanted to tell you that you are not alone.
PS I can't take meds as I have become sensitve and very reactive to 99% of them. I hope they work better for you. Keep us informed.
