My Voice, My Way
A podcast about Speech disorders. Hi, I'm Margaret Stoddart. I suffer with a voice condition called Muscle Tension Dysphonia and Spasmodic Dysphonia. I have suffered with this condition for around 6 years and have had various forms of treatment including, Speech and Language, Laryngeal Massage and now Botox. The purpose of starting these podcasts is to raise awareness of these conditions as I believe there is not enough known in the UK, despite 10% of the population suffering from related conditions. I am an Area Contact Leader for Dysphonia International. If you would like to share your experiences please do get in touch and I will arrange to 'chat' with you. Together we can raise awareness!

My Voice, My Way 3 Helen Thompson
This is my 3rd Podcast, this time with my friend Helen Thompson. I debated whether to publish this one as there was a lot of background noise, but I decided that I would publish it to show and highlight even more the struggles those suffering with a voice condition have on a daily basis just to be heard. Helen talks a little bit about her journey so far. I have more questions to ask her but we were both struggling so decided to stop and we will continue at a later date when there isn't as much noise.
