Welcome to the bulletin board! I'm glad you've found us. A new diagnosis is definitely scary. Your case sounds like many of ours, comes and goes, gets better and worse. One thing I have to do is consistently remind myself that it's not my fault when my voice acts up. Even though I know better, my brain wants to make some sort of sense out of what's going on with my voice. So when it breaks and is trembly I automatically think, "Huh, I wonder what I'm doing wrong and what I can do to fix it?" But, there is no sense to be made out of our voice condition, so.... no need to blame ourselves. At any rate, I expect that you will go through a period of grieving after your diagnosis. I think most of us do. I know I shed many a tear and was fairly angry. I just wanted to be able to speak again without having it be such an effort. But I will say this, and this is coming from someone who really didn't deal with it very well at the outset, there is hope. It really does get easier with time. Believe it or not, there have even been days when I've sorta been glad that I have the disease, for many reasons that i wouln't bore you with. I will be thinking of you and hope that you find a good treatment option. If you ever want to talk in person to a fellow SDer just email me for my phone number.
