Natural/Alternative approaches to ADSD

Recently, someone asked me what natural approaches I tried before deciding to use Botox for ADSD. I was stunned as I composed my email response to her. I have tried so many things that I thought some of you might be interested and/or can identify. It is too lengthy to put on this BB, but I will email it to anyone interested.

In summary, the natural approaches helped me feel better, more centered, more relaxed, and gave me the "illusion" of control. I still use many of the techniques described below. But nothing really relaxed the strangled, gripping feeling in my throat or eliminated the strained quality of my voice. And while I am glad I had the botox shot (Dec 11, 2002), and will get another one when needed, I am going to try laryngeal massage next.

Regards,

Lynn (ADSD) Teaneck, NJ

Yes, I would be interested in your experiences. Any information I can obtain will help me in the learning process of what I am dealing with.

Lynn, thanks so much again for the info...I will reply to your

Email but am certainly interested in the laryngeal massage. I

have always thought that this concept makes sense. The only

problem is finding someone who professionally does this....

any thoughts???

Yes, I have found someone through my speech pathologist. I let you know what happens.

For a self-laryngeal massage approach go to www.stic.net/users/ta2man/distonia.html. Note the misspelling of "distonia" but the info is good.
