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!
