Profile Information

How would you define your voice problem?: other

Tell us a bit about you.... (optional): I am 46 yrs old and had speech problems for 2 years on and off but have been diagnosed with sulcus vocalis and I am having surgery in Jan to try and help my speech which is only a whisper. I work full time, am married and have 3 dogs!

Tell us what you would like to get from this site/The Lary Project.... (optional): just to be able to communicate with people who are experiencing vocal problems and not feel like I am the only one.

We run support groups where you can meet others with voice problems, receive voice therapy, advice on working with a voice problem and much, much more besides.... If you are interested in attending our next meeting, let me know at meetings@lary.org.uk

At 22:03 on December 28, 2010, Terence McDermott said…: Hi Sandra

Saw your comments on the chat room. This social network is relatively new (trying to make more functional than our old Forum at the lary.org.uk website). I am speaking to different voice clinics to let people know about The Lary Project, our services and this social network so I hope use will go up over time!

I can't remember if I discussed you coming to one of our support groups in London? Would you want/be able to come? That way you definitely get to meet others with voice problems.

Please keep on posting - the more you post, the more others will. The difficulty is often that a few people post then stop because they think it's not being read/responded, then a few others start posting and then stop because they think it's not being read/responded, so turns into a bit of a vicious cycle. if we can get everyone posting more and more people online then we can really start to build a proper community.

Thanks for your perseverence! V valued!

Terry

The meeting is provisionally scheduled for 29 Jan but have to confirm with venue/other attendees. Oh yes, I remember now that you are Nottingham based. Pity you are not closer (how London is the centre of the universe does that sound?!)... but great you are in Nottingham if you are having a larynx operation - one of the best places to be as we discussed I believe.

You are v welcome to come and there are no parking charges in the area on a Saturday if you drive and coaches from the North stop nearby.

Some people come from Leeds and Scarborough if that is any encouragement!

Best, Terry

At 11:39 on January 21, 2011, Irene said…: Hi Sandra, Glad to hear your back home and hoping that you are recovering well. I hope you find the surgery helps in the long term. Enjoy your stay at Centre Parcs when you go. Take care. Best wishes Irene x
