This may sound like a silly thing, but after D. my voice goes up like two octaves. Does anyone else have that happen to them? I sound like a little girl and it lasts for hours. I can even hear it in my own ears. I hate to open my mouth. I don't know why, but even the people around me can tell the difference. Everyone can tell my D days by my voice.
Any input?

I think dialysis tends to affect everything in the body, so why not the voice.  Mine tends to get very gravely.

Yeah - I play guitar and sing, and I notice sometimes that I loose a lot of my top range.... it really sucks.

Voice changes and hoarseness are likely due to the drying effect of fluid removal during dialysis.
