Easier Done than Said...Living with a Broken Voice: New Book on Spasmodic Dysphonia
Easier Done than Said...Living with a Broken Voice is a new book written by those who suffer from SD, and professionals who work with SD patients. It is a compendium of shared experiences from within the SD community.
This book is designed to:
• Provide comfort and guidance to those who are struggling to understand spasmodic dysphonia;
• Explain to family, friends, co-workers, and other interested parties the challenges faced by people with spasmodic dysphonia; and
• Bring spasmodic dysphonia to the general public’s attention.
For those who have been coping with SD for years, we hope this book will provide you with some new ideas to address current issues you might be facing. For those who are recently diagnosed or who are still seeking answers to this strange ailment, we hope this book will serve as a useful reference guide as you begin your journey through life with SD. For friends, family members, or co-workers of those with SD, we hope this book will help you to better understand the plight of people dealing with SD.
Author Karen Feeley has been living with SD since 1997 and has been an active member of the NSDA since 2001.
