Re: Swallowing Difficulties/Voice Loss

[Guest guest]

Gretchen,

Perhaps you can help with this one.

I'm wondering if anyone has trouble with their voice cutting out on them?

While I don't have trouble swallowing, it seems like I literally loose my voice

right in the middle of talking. I can clear my throat, and I'm good to go for a

little while until it happens again.

Is this related to the vocal cord paralysis?

Donna,

I have the same problem. They've checked me for breathing problems which I

don't seem to have but I still lose my voice,especially at the end of sentences.

Hello Donna,

We talk about these things all of the time and yet some doctors

insist that only periphial nerves are involved. For decades whenever

I have to force my voice as in singing, airplane communications,

party conversations, etc. it just fades away and often ends in a

squeak. I really do not know why and my guess is that the muscles

controlling the voice box are just week like many other areas and

functionally deterioate when stressed.
