LOL, now that I have you attention...

A fat UVULA every damn morning.

Uvula = the punching bag dangly thing at the back of the throat.


For those that have them removed:

Q: Since I'm seriously considering getting the thing amputated, are there any side effects like different speech, or nasal efflux (food going up nose pipes when swallowing), or any anything else?

For those that have problems also:

My problem is that my throat dries out when I sleep and the thing gets stuck to the back wall of my throat (I usually sleep on my back) and when I cough, it rips itself off the wall and becomes sensitive and thus, swollen.

Q: What do you do to reduce problem with your uvula? I tried being hydrated, but it still happens? Suggestions?

The uvula plays a key role in the articulation of the sound of the human voice to form the sounds of speech.[2] It functions in tandem with the back of the throat, the palate, and air coming up from the lungs to create a number of guttural and other sounds. Consonants pronounced with the uvula are not found in English; however, languages such as Arabic, French, German, Hebrew, Ubykh, and Hmong use uvular consonants to varying degrees. Certain African languages use the uvula to produce click consonants as well. In English (as well as many other languages), it closes to prevent air escaping through the nose when making some sounds.

Anita O'Day, a popular big band singer, lost her uvula by a 'slip of the knife' during a childhood surgery. This affected her voice by eliminating vibrato, she said, in an interview with Terry Gross of NPR's "Fresh Air" radio show.

Everytime I get a bit sick or have a bad night snoring it will swell. Same problem also occurs after a big night on the piss as I tend to snore. It's not just the uvula that's swollen and sensitive but my tonsils also.

Last year around this time I had tonsilitis and was on the verge of galandular fever. I decided to go see the doctor and he told me that the swelling was a bit un-usual bit it would eventually go away with time......bullshit.

I don't know about you but not being able to breath properly because the fucking thing is bloocking your air-way is far more annoying than the soreness. The weird sensation of having something that feels like you should swallow it (like a golly), trying to swallow it and it still being there is rather annoying too. Do also you find that even when it's not swollen it has been stretched so much that it's still larger than it would have been and it's still pretty annoying having a flappy thing dangling around?

As for a solution I'm yet to find one. I never thought you could get them removed either? I'd prefer to put up with it than have it removed and have my speech impared.

A warm lubricative device will work...something about 6-7 inches long, firm and pulsing. oh yeah and has can expel the sticky lube when operated properly.:p

I spoke to an Ear Nose Throat Specialist today and basically explained to me that its a common problem.

I can either wrap a rubber band around and make it drop off (old skool) or I can get it shortened (knife) to a less obstructive length yet keep the use of the uvula for speech.

Considering I don't think I'll ever learn Arabic or kind, i might just get the whole thing removed.

Still deciding which, but it will be shorter.

I got mine removed, and my voice is farked...But I think that's from the paralysed vocal cord:rolleyes:

When I look in there, there's just a little stub, and it's a very dodgey cut too! I'm not impressed

So...this post is useless information, which I just had to give.:)
