What Exactly is Spasmodic Dysphonia?

Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD) of the adductor type occurs when the basal ganglia within the brain sends an incorrect message to the vocal chord muscles, instructing them to contract too tightly, in some cases blocking speech altogether. In adductor SD, speech may sound strained, quivery, hoarse, jerky, creaky, staccato, or garbled, and can at times be very difficult to understand.

The less frequently occurring SD is of the abductor type, in which there is an overcontraction of the muscles that separate the vocal chords, resulting in a choppy and breathy whispering voice pattern and is harder to treat than the adductor type.

I have the adductor type of SD and sound, for the most part, like I am very sick. I also lose portions of many words. This causes me a lot of distress and has led to me trying to choose words that are easier for me to say. My voice is also quivery at times which makes it sound as though I am upset and about to cry. That is also referred to as a tremor.
