Videos: yes. when? I don't know. merely making ends meet is the challenge now. Thinks about it, would any employer hire someone who can't talk to customers, or answer phones? unless you did something super mundane....like janitor (I would go insane!!!) you would have no work, and no income.
I at least have self employment to help. at the least I get everything locally at 50% off retail.
And it sucks...bad.

I do recall of a method used by some throat cancer paitents that have had their voice box removed. It works by swallowing gulps of air and then burping them back up again to make sound. But apparently the success rate of people learning to do it right is about 50%. Then again, knowing how you put your mind to things, you could probably nail it seeing that your learning ASL so quickly.
How are you coping with work with the lack of speech? I wouldsay that could be quitea hinderance.
And seeing tha this has happened, are you still planning on making more of the videos that you mentiond a few months ago?

I procured some SUBSTANCE P, from an undisclosed person from an undisclosed location from an undisclosed country.
Used it accordingly. No change.
it's been more than 1 month since my loss of voice, and 30 days after the incident was when I received the SUBSTANCE P, which by the way....has the aftertaste remind me of the smell of CFC.
If I had it the next day...or something to that effect it would have been more effective.
Since the time was so large, the tissue has converted to scar, and the nerve damage too large.
I just get to deal with it now. Total of 45 days... am communicating with deaf people more than the hearing people.
ASL is a cool way to talk.

Aerosolized substance P may help your throat and lungs recover.
Granted, its highly experimental, but I don't think that's stopped you before
I remember coming across this research a while back and thought this may be good to have in the event of a bird flu pandemic.
Anyway, substance P is a neuropeptide that is involved in many biological functions including among other things, pain signal transmission. Imagine their surprise when these researchers discovered that aerosolized substance P counteracted lung damage caused by jet fuel (contains benzene too).
As I recall from their research, any major trama to the throat and lungs results in depletion of substance P which takes a long time to replace and the lung tissue and immune system suffers as a result.
This research has been followed up and it turns out that aerosolized substance P can prevent lung toxicity from many sources including cigarette smoke.
Substance P can be purchased from Sigma Co., for "research purposes only."
You might also considered breathing treatments with H2 gas (2%) and consumption of H2 saturated water (see US Patent 20070148256 "Pharmacologic-functioning water and usage of the same").
Protection from JP-8 jet fuel induced immunotoxicity by administration of aerosolized substance P.

Chronic exposure to jet fuel has been shown to cause human liver dysfunction, emotional dysfunction, abnormal electroencephalograms, shortened attention spans, and decreased sensorimotor speed. The United States Air Force has decided to implement the widespread use of JP-8 jet fuel in its operations, although a thorough understanding of its potential effects upon exposed personnel is unclear. Exposure to potential environment toxicants such as JP-8 may have significant effects on host physiology. Previous studies in mice have shown that short-term, low concentration JP-8 exposure had significant effects on the immune system; e.g., decreased viable immune cell numbers, decreased immune organ weights, and loss on immune function that persisted for extended periods of time (i.e., up to 4 weeks post-exposure). Previous studies have shown that JP-8 induced pulmonary dysfunction was associated with a decrease in levels of the neuropeptide substance P (SP) in lung lavage fluids. It was found that administration of aerosolized SP was able to protect exposed animals from such JP-8 induced pulmonary changes. In the current study, aerosolized SP was analyzed for its effects on JP-i induced immunotoxicity in exposed mice. It was observed that SP administration could protect JP-8 exposed animals from losses of viable immune cell numbers, but not losses in immune organ weights. Further, exposure of animals to SP inhibitors generally increased the immunotoxicity of JP-8 exposure. SP appeared to act on all immune cell populations equally as analyzed by flow cytometry, as no one immune cell population appeared to be preferentially protected by SP. Also, SP administration was capable of protecting JP-8 exposed animals from loss of immune function at all concentrations of JP-8 utilized (250-2500 mg/m3). Significantly, SP only needed to be administered for 15 minutes after JP-8 exposure, and was active at both 1 microM and 1 nM concentrations. Thus, SP administration appears to be a relatively simple and efficient means to reverse the immunotoxicity due to hydrocarbon exposure.
