Hi, I am new here too. After my SD-AD got progressively worse I decided it was not just stress that was causing the spasms. I feel confident and strong, but I didn't sound that way so I saw a series of doctors including a speech therapist who actually diagnosed what I had.I have had good days and bad days. I have always been able to talk somewhat, until I had the botox treatment which gave me complete laryngitis for two days. Now I am in the recovering phase I guess. I don't spasm but my voice is high and breathy and tires easily. I rest it as much as possible.
Thanks for asking your question. We all learn from each other.
