losing voice

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna,

I also have this problem. Sometimes I can only get out a whisper by end of

sentence. I mentioned it to one of my Drs., his suggestion do not talk so much.

Ha!! Ha!!

I recently underwent a sleep study and they determined, I have sleep obstructive

breathing, not as bad as sleep apnea. They have me using a bi-pap machine,

because my oxygen level went up and down too much during the REM cycle.

I thought maybe my voice would be better with the added air, but it hasn't

helped. The machine has given me more energy and less morning headaches.

I agree with Ed, that maybe this is another muscle weakness from our CMT, so

many things can be affected. I also have a weak phenric muscle on the left side

and have lost about 30% use of that lung, I thought that was what caused my

voice problem??

Connie,

I haven't read all the e-mails that pertain to this, but most of my life I've

been told I mumble. Which is true.A t least it all makes sense now.
