As a runner I find that when I run my voice is particularly weak. It's not because I'm out of breath or anything. I can barely get the words out. It doesn't matter if it's 5k, 10k, half marathon, marathon or just a practice run. It's always the same. My running aggravates my SD. Does any one else have this problem? Bill

Physical fatigue almost always makes my spasms worse. I've learned to take rest breaks during chores (mowing the lawn, etc.) that I did not have to do before. Larry ADSD |

Hi Bill, Does your voice get weaker as you run, or afterward? When I do my power-walks or work out, I notice later that day my voice is worse. But I sure don't want to quit exercising to spare my voice (tempting as it is, sometimes). Wonder why this happens? Does anyone know? --fancynancy--

I was just starting to think that if I started exercising more then perhaps my voice would improve. No such luck??? I have been doing easy things like deep breathing, streching, sit-ups, etc. Doris St. Clair AD/SD VA |

My voice gets weaker as I run. Once I stop I'm back to my regular SD/AD voice. It makes running and making conversation nearly impossible. Bill

Hiya According to the reading i've done over the years exercise makes many forms of dystonia worse. I always found my voice was worse after any physical exertion. I don't remember why, but it happens to me. Swimming seemed to be the worst for me, perhaps because I did it more often therefore noticed it more. Still kept up the exercise, the voice always recovered (to it's previous state that is). I have now had the thyroplasty type 2 surgery and there is no effect at all anymore except tend to be slightly more breathy. Cheers Narelle, Australia, ADSD 17 years |

Many swimming pools (especially public pools) contain high levels of chlorine. Athletes who engage in forced breathing - forcefully sucking air in and blowing it out through their mouths - sometimes suffer irritation to the throat, bronchial tubes and/or lungs from high chlorine gas levels just above the surface of the pool, particularly when conditions are such that water evaporation rates are significant. |

I've been a swimmer just about all my life, competitively through high school, college and coaching. Proper rythmic breathing when swimming is actually helpful for me, remarkably I get my voice back automatically. I believe it's the automatic breathing support that kicks in which gets my voice back. I will agree on some of the high chlorine levels! |

Hi Narelle, Swimming does wonders for my voice. I'm currious to know more about the thyroplasty type 2 surgery. Do you mind sharing some of your experiences? As far as speaking and controlling you pitch, are there any limitations? are there any risks with the thyroplasty with regards to activities such as exercise and so forth? I'am considering this surgery in the near future. Regards Mig, US, ADSD 1.5 years |

Hi Mig, I am happy to share anything, but have already done so alot on this bb if you want to search the archives :) I would prefer, for the sake of not repeating myself endlessly here, that you e-mail me at frogmob@ozemail.com.au and we can have a good natter about it all. As for the breathing, no problems, slight breathiness (not like botox breathiness) and I don't get puffed out like I did after botox. Look forward to talking to ya :) Pitch - well i'm no soprano anymore - but this allows me to work etc without stress or constant effort - beats that old spasm anyday! Cheers

In many people, running can cause gastric reflux "episodes" (due to shaking up the stomach), and if the gastric reflux is a HIGH UP type, called LPR (Laryngeal-pharyngeal reflux), the corrosive stomach liquid (or fumes evaporating off the liquid) can actually DAMAGE/BURN the vocal cords. This hurts the voice! For anyone interested, I have some holistic gastric reflux tips, on page 10 of my (non-profit) website, located at "Can't Breathe? Suspect Vocal Cord Dysfunction!" I'm not allowed to post my website's URL address here, but if you type in "vocal cord dysfunction" on most search engines, you'll find my website. Sincerely, Carol |

Hi Bill, Exercise definitely makes my voice worse. I used to play a lot of absketball and during games and following my voice would be worse. Any exercise can do it. My throat is a lot more tense and constricted feeling. It is surprising and kindof annoying. Bill W |
