Hi Shirley,I am 40 years old and I live in Oregon, USA.
I had a pretty bad day at work today. I am still out of breath easily and today I started having trouble swallowing food. I called my doctor who said the shortness of breath is common and the swallowing part is probably because I have the Abductor type and he had to go further back with the Botox near where your swallowing mechanisms is. I hope this part does not last long because it is not pleasant.It has been 3 days and I am still waiting for my voice quality to improve. It has to work, it is my last chance for me to save my job. I am still hoping and praying it will take soon. Thank you for your reply. It is so nice to know that I am not crazy, or making myself talk the way I do. I try so hard to control it it and it is just impossible. Nobody understands, and that makes me so frustrated. Something that comes so natural to everyone, I have to fight for. Guess Im having a little pity party for myself...ha ha Well I hope you keep in touch, its nice to make new friends who care and understand.
