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 with Husband Brian
Today I asked my Husband Brian if he would like to do a podcast with me and he said yes but he wanted to do it himself without any involvement from me; however, as I pointed out to him, its my podcast I have to be involved! This was a very interesting talk and I learned things that I didn't realise or appreciate. Mainly, his feelings on my lack of voice. Sometimes I think we can be guilty of having 'blinkers' on and unintentionally thinking only of our own problems! I know, I have certainly been guilty of this. I hope you enjoy listening.
