Hi,
I'm in the UK and there is not a lot of information regarding this condition,
After searching, i came across this forum, i was diagnosed 4 years ago and i get very frustrated,
I have a strange question, and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience,
I have found when i've had a few Guinness {my tipple} i speak with no problems, but the next morning i am back to having the same symptoms,
I find if i can talk with no problem when drunk,, what good would botox do, there must be some other disorder they haven't found,

Welcome, @vistagan. I'm tagging @sguttmann, @katgallant, @bruceandruth1970 and others to make sure they saw your first post and question.

My Spasmodic Dysphonia was diagnosed in 1983, so there are probably more options now. At that time the doctor paralyzed the left vocal cord. It has left my voice raspy, but there is no problem speaking. I also did some speech therapy and Botox injections afterwards.
