Hmmm, I thought from reading other posts that MTD usually isn't helped from alcohol, but SD is. All I know is this is a completely different feeling in my throat than I have ever had. The Dr. tells me it is mainly tremor that is giving me the difficulty but everything muscle in my throat/head seems to be straining when I talk. I don't feel the constant breaks as much as before I had SLAD-R surgery, it's more of just a strained and strangled feeling.It has coincided with the longest time without botox that I have had. My last injection was about a year ago. I'm wondering if my throat started to try to compensate for feeling the spasms again and started to use other muscles causing this strain...there I go with my self diagnosis again :-)
Like I said though, up until about 6 months ago if I had a few drinks my voice would feel pretty good. Now it doesn't help at all...I'm pretty frustrated.
I tried a botox injection in the normal vocal cord muscle again last Tuesday, but I think I swallowed when he was injecting it and it didn't get where it was supposed to go. Right now I am just whispering for a couple days because I can't take the strain.
