For over a year now I have had a hoarse voice. It
gets hoarser and weaker when I am really
struggling with fatigue. I am the song leader for our church
services (we sing acapella) and have always had a
strong voice. Now if I'm only a little tired, I
can sing several songs before I start losing
notes. It's like when a string on a piano goes
bad. Every time you hit that note it goes plunk.
I lose more and more notes as I get more tired.
Sometimes I lose the high end of my range,
sometimes the middle and sometimes the low notes.
If I'm really exhausted, I have almost no voice
for singing or speaking. Anyone else have this?

Interesting you should ask that. I was talking yesterday with Dr. Stratton, a Chlamydia Pneumonia expert at Vanderbilt University.
I asked him what one symptom could indicate a chronic chlamydia pneumonia infection. He said laryngitis (hoarse voice). I don't have that, but I certainly have a Cpn infection (based on high IgG and IgA antibody titers).
I would suggest getting yourself tested for Cpn. A website for more info: www.cpnhelp.org

I'm not sure if it is a symptom, however I have experienced a hoarse voice that comes and goes.

I've had more of what I'd call a strangly/shaky voice. It has gotten much better with treatment.
What I have that I know of is Lyme, Myco P, EBV, POTS.
Guessing Lyme or Myco P caused it.

It was one of my daughter's first symptoms and one her pediatrician asked about.
