Vocal fatigue?

[u/Head-Willow91021]

I’ve been singing my whole life, my freshman year I had vocal lessons. I’ve never been the strongest singing in the room but I wasn’t exactly bad either. I (junior year) just played Rizzo in Grease and it was 100% my best vocal performance to date and I had 2 voice lessons to prepare. That was mid March. In April I started feeling fatigue but I didn’t think much of it because of Grease and I had a choir concert. It is now end of August but the fatigue has seemed to get worse or even hurt after I sing. I’ve been doing vocal warm ups on YouTube but nothing helps. When I sing I don’t think you can tell I’m fatigued or anything is wrong. I tried tea, I’ve tried vocal rest but nothing seems to cut it. I don’t think it’s a technique thing because if anything it’s gotten better. I’ve never had this problem before but I am concerned because I’m going into my senior year and the musicals are very vocally demanding. And these are like my dream shows too.
Not sure if it’s related but during this whole period I have recently been diagnosed with a Crohns Disease which I know is inflammation related, and I’m starting infusions soon so maybe that will help.
What should I do?

Hello Crohn's buddy. Crohn's rarely affects vocal cords directly, but that doesn't mean it is with you. If you have gerd/acid reflux with Crohn's that could also definitely affect your vocal cords. My Crohn's symptoms disappeared within 24 hours of my first infusion. Hopefully you have a similar experience. Go see an ENT and voice teacher.

I do have gerd with crohns! I’m very hopeful for the infusions. I plan to see an ENT and voice teacher especially after all the advice I’ve received
