No, you are not "weird". I have had SD for the past 40 years, for most of those years i was without a clue as to what caused my problem, as SD was unknown by the medical profession. I agree that if you speak at a different pitch, the voice seems to improve. I have noticed that my SD has changed through the years. At the beginning my speech was "strangled" and almost painful, now it is very quiet and breathless. I think it changed from the ADDuctor form, to the ABDuctor form. It seems to have its own agenda, there are good times, and bad times with little reason, or understanding on my part. We are all observing and judges ourselves in the absence of a clear understanding of the disease. Recently i observed that when i am running on the tredmill at the gym in the morning, i am hyper-ventilating, and i find that my speech is stronger, when speaking to others. We all need to try not to be to hard on ourselves, as we did not cause this malady, and have limited control over it.
