I also have problems with my voice. I speak quite quietly now but it sounds loud in my head. Close friends ask me to repeat certain things occasionally.I slur my words almost all the time but it was only occasionally two years ago. I speak in clipped tones - like a drunk!
I feel as though I'm being strangled. I seem to be holding my breath but that part of me is functionning fine. I seem to click inside, making a noise.
I choked at every meal for about 4 years. Food wasn't stuck but something touching the back of my throat would cause spasms.That has stopped.
I saw a speech therapist yesterday for the first time. It was only an assessment. I've booked in for a proper session soon so will let you know. She seemed of the opinion that physical tiredness had alot to do with it. She also wants me to have a camera put down my throat to see what happens when I spasm.
