SD Impacting my Life

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed with SD a while back and have been receiving injections every 2-3 months. They have not been as helpful as I thought they’d be. My inability to speak is negatively impacting so many areas of my life - my job, my relationships, my self-worth. I feel hopeless. Just thought I’d reach out for some words of encouragement.

Also - in addition to the spasms impacting my ability to speak, I also have constant phlegm and have to clear my throat in order to have words come out. Does anyone else experience this? I’ve tried allergy pills, water, tea, honey, cough drops, etc and nothing seems to fix it.
