A number of years ago my voice started to weaken, at times disappearing completely. Home visits from speech therapist were helpful. I carried out the voice exercises as prescribed, but I still still needed further help to restore power into my speech. Accordingly it was suggested that I might benefit from Botox injected directly into my voice box.
I am senior citizen and approached the prospect of the Botox injection not without some trepidation. However the friendliness, professionalism and empathy shown by members of staff made the experience more endurable than it might otherwise have been.
I am happy to report that my voice has strengthened as a result of this treatment. Having been involved in public speaking over many years, my voice has been an important component in my professional and family life.
I am grateful that Botox injections are available to me. Life would be much less manageable were this treatment ever to be withdrawn.
