Laryngitis and Hoarseness, stage 3/4

I have had laryngitis and hoarseness, which is getting worse now.  In my 6th wk of treatment and wondering if anyone else has had this problem.  Have had in the past, never this bad.
Any thoughts would be appreiciated.  Other then normal allergies, and some fatigue, no other changes. Could my liver have an effect on my vocal cords, throat,, etc.?

I think you are right as I have had heartburn in the past.  I will have it checked this week.

Thanks again for your thoughts.

I had something similiar last year pre-dx. Throat was constantly sore and I'd lose my voice occasionally. Doc said it was GERD and  I have to take 80mg Prilosec  2x/day.
After I was dx, I mentioned it to my GI, because I've never had heartburn or acid reflux before. He said it probably was related to or excaberated by the HCV.

Maybe its just acid reflux from the interferon and riba?
