I know there are different types of dysphonia. The one I'm most familiar with is former NPR host Diane Rehm who has spasmodic dysphonia, that gives her voice a quavering quality and gave her voice what I can only describe as an "old lady" quality long before her time. I'm not a singer either (other than the occasional silly karaoke attempt), but I used to be able to produce higher tones with my own voice than I can now. It doesn't affect my normal speaking voice, so I haven't bothered to have it diagnosed or treated. But yes, I probably do have some stress in my life that I need to shed.
You are a gifted writer and I enjoy hearing from you. I wish I had your gift of writing as I have so much to say and so lilltle time as i watch my shadow get longer.
Thank you so much Christine. Much appreciate your comment. You do have the gift to share your own words. Just start writing, even if it is just for yourself. Let the words fly!
