I lost my voice this summer after becoming very sick and it never came back. My ent sent me to a speech t. She believes I have sd. and set up an appt. for me to go to Boston to be evalutated for this( appt. is IN Feb.. She also sent me to a neuroligist, who did a mri of my brain. He called to say the MRI was fine, but I have to go see him this week for a follow up. I know I have had a tremor in my voice for years, but I assured myself it was from being nervous. I am a shy person. I work in the health care field dealing with people all day. I find it very hard to talk. The clients always think I am so sick I should go home. People I work with are great. They say they are used to my voice or lack of it and assure everyone I am not in pain when I talk. I also have RA. I am trying to find out as much as I can about botox injections because the speech t. thinks I should have them. I am glad I found this board. I am learning alot. thanks |

Hi NH, Welcome to the BB. I found the site last fall and it has been a wonderful encouragement. As you have probably noticed many of us have had Botox treatments with varying degrees of success. I’ve just had my 14 injection this past week. For me, Botox has been big help and although it is not without its side effects I personally think it's worth it. Your experience with working with other people and the challenges that entails is one that many of us with SD share. I’m glad you found the BB and I hope you find it helpful. Best of Luck,

Hi Bill, Thanks for the welcome! I am glad I find this site and all the information available. I thought botox would just cure me, so I am disappointed to read so many people have mixed results with it. I saw the neurologist today, he feels I have SD too. So, now I just have to see what the M.D.s in Boston say. Thank you again. It is nice to know you are not alone. |
