Hi Everyone:First, it's been a long journey! Today, I feel vindicated (sort of). I finally found a doctor who specializes in SD and got the official diagnosis. It's been eight, long years that I have endured this! I have had doctor's tell me it's in my head, I even had one doctor tell me that I manifested this "voice thing" myself out of low self-esteem. I am so thankful I found the neurologist I saw for carpal tunnel who told me, just so matter-of-factly, "you have SD." My first thought was, "HUH?" He opened my eyes to this website, the research and the help I needed to get the diagnosis. I saw an ENT today, in fact, one I found on the site. He did all kinds of tests and exams and I got the official word today. Now, I can begin a course of action and treatment. Botox, here I come! I am just so thankful I found this site -- so many of you have been so supportive and helpful. I will still be around as I embark on this new journey. Right now I am crying, I am happy, I am sad, I am everything I guess that goes into the years of wondering how I could have possibly done this to myself.
