It was not my intent to "blow off" anybody. In fact, I purposely wrote my message to be as supportive and open to suggestions as possible, while also being realistic about the verified medical evidence regarding SD. The main point of my response was in the second sentence:"Do you suppose it’s possible that you have Muscle Tension Dystonia (MTD) rather than Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD)?"
Although I have to admit that when someone's first and only contribution to the bulletin board is a "cure for SD" that sounds exactly like those being promoted by classes that cost thousands of dollars and, like Laurie said, who refuse to have their results objectively and blindly rated by experts in the field, I do feel more skepticism than if the post was from someone who had actually participated on this board before.
