Oh, The Things I Say...

~~Open Mouth~~ TEXT, Insert Foot.

Me: Do you have any Christmas sweaters that have stuff on them... like appliques?

Friend: Yes, I have a huge one that would be too big for you. What do you need it for?

Me: My boss wants us to wear ugly Christmas sweaters to our thing on Friday. She said, "You know the ones with appliqued snowmen and Christmas trees."

Thank goodness my friend has a sense of humor!

The world might end with me in that sweater.

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.
