Vocal cords!!!!! Repair needed!?
How can you tell if you've got nodes? My voice I've noticed has been relatively hoarse for about a week, at least that's how long I've been conscious of it...I hope it isn't..throat cancer...of coarse, I haven't seen any white growths so maybe I'm good...for now

It's only been a week?  take some vitamin C, drink lots of hot lemon tea, rest your voice.  You could just have a spring cold.  But I agree with TG, go see a doctor if you're worried.

i have them on my throat and i go to the clinic. There are many reasons they can happen or the affect is aggrevated. You can't know if ;you have them until you go to the dr. who refers you to a specialist and undergo some obtrusive procedure. They stic a camera up your nose and down your throat, very uncomfortable!!!! SO, aside from lemon, ginger was recommended. Another thing that wrecks the throat is gasteral reflex. you may not even experience symptoms, but alcohol, spicy foods, smoking and anything else fun you can think of aggrevates that. The WORST thing, believe it or not is throat clearing. DO NOT CLEAR YOUR THROAT it actually causes more mucus which causes more irritation. Swallow hard with water instead and sip water all day. Another thing is emotional issues because the throat is right in the middle of tonnes of muscles that are reseptive to stress! so if that's a problem, then destressify yourself with a massage, deligate responsibilities and /or remove yourself from uncomfotable situations. Hope this helped! - Siren =)

Thank you for NOT smoking ;)
Nope. I've never smoked in my life, but perhaps I do need to cut my alcohol, which isn't that much actually. Only when I go out (every 1 or 2 weekends), and that's even only 1 drink and I leave it at that. As for foods, I don't know about Starbucks but my suspicions make me think that could be a contributor too. Could even the changing weather?...I had been under stress as suggested by Siren.  But what caused my stress was unknown until I found out the source was that I noticed I hadn't been singing lately...which kind of bummed me out. At any rate...thanks for your advice!

"Gettin' better all the time..."
It seems my voice is getting better. At least I don't feel the hoarseness as much, but I will definitely check it out with my doc.  Tell me if you think the hiatus my voice has had has paid off. I have just posted a new song. Check it out

Best of luck with the voice. And make sure you go to the doctor to get it checked out if it isn't improving!

Speedy recovery!
