Hi divinityrose,

Allow me to introduce myself, I am KariMorganPhilippot where I reside in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. I am 46 years old and I was diagnosed last year with Thyroid Cancer, Hashimotos disease along with Hypothyroidism where I underwent numerous testing that resulted in the removal of my entire right thyroid due to papillary carcinoma. I also suffer from severe
Fybromyalgia and TMJ discomfort with Dysphagia along with numerous other ailments too many to explain here. Because I am having difficulty with my voice Cancer Care referred me to a Speech Language Pathologist for voice training where she discovered that I was suffering from hyoid bone syndrome where she is fully trained on identifying this syndrome along with many other ailments relating to speech and swallowing. I was advised that it was a direct result from my major car accident 11 years ago with extreme trauma to my neck. I was shocked to learn about Hyoid Bone Syndrome which truly was an eye opener since it explains everything that I have been experiencing for many years exactly to a T where I have been in voice training for around 6 months now therefore my recommendation to you would be to obtain a referral to see a Speech
Language Pathologist who can explain this in great detail and provide you with a proper diagnosis. I hope and pray this helps you!
Sincerely Kari
