Growing up it must have been so horrible, almost like living in your own private hell. It's easy for people to say to you to get help, or to do something about the…"

I have quite a story to tell and would like to share it. Spasdomic dysphonia sounds familiar but I am not sure that is what I had.

Hi Jeffrey, thanks for your message and friend request. Sorry I didnt reply sooner, I haven't been able to get online recently.
I know it is frustrating that the forum isn't too busy, but I did read your story so far and found it extremely interesting.
I have found that sending people messages and comments seem to get a lot better response than using the forum, which is obviously annoying as the forum is meant as a way for the whole group to discuss and communicate, but from what I can gather the admin team is trying to get a lot more activity on the website as a whole, and attract new members so I hope activity will increase soon.
All I can say is try not to be disheartened, I am sure others have read it, and even if one person takes something away from it (and I certainly have so far), then surely sharing it is worth while?
I hope everything is alright with you and that I hear back from you soon.
Kind regards
Becky
