Subject:  RE: nodes


I read that if you get nodes they will usually go away on their own if you
rest your voice. Also, the article I read said that if you continue to abuse
your voice, the nodes will harden and become permanent, requiring surgical
removal. Is this accurate? I want to be sure that I have the most current
information. I read this on a vocal coach's website (can't remember who it
was) about 2 years ago.

Also, is there anything that you can do that is therapeutic for the vocal
cords that will speed the healing of nodes besides simply resting?
