Share Your Voice: Adrienne - Living with Spasmodic Dysphonia

Adrienne shares “If there is something you really want to do, don’t let your voice stand in the way. Doing it will give you the confidence to do things that are nowhere near as stressful.”
Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is a rare, neurological disorder that affects the voice. SD makes it difficult to speak as the vocal cords spasm when a person speaks, causing the voice to either sound choked or strangled or breathy.
The mission of the National Spasmodic Dysphonia Association is to advance medical research into the causes of and treatments for spasmodic dysphonia, promote physician and public awareness of the disorder, and provide support to those affected by spasmodic dysphonia.
