Edit

..and now for my 2cents worth. Some time ago on this bulletin board, I described my journey with voice therapy. The conclusion I came to at that time and stick with even now, is that improper breathing significantly exacerbates symtoms of SD. While I believe that most of the SD community pretty much concurs, there is no cure for SD at this time. I believe that to be so but it is also my personal experience, that some, if not most SD, is made much much worse through improper breathing habits. The actual 'spasm' is a short glitch, while the subconscious effort to cover the glitch (by attempting to control it without airflow) is even worse than the spasm itself. i.e. the spasm is gone in a hiccup of time, while the sentence without air continues until it's finished. I hope that makes sense.
