Terri Hendrix - About Spasmodic Dysphonia and Essential Vocal Tremor

I have been diagnosed with Spasmodic Dysphonia and Essential Tremor of the Voice (three ENT's and 18 months of testing). I have a malformation at the base of my skull that causes neurological challenges. Because of it, I have Focal Epilepsy. Been dealing with this since 1990. I'd be lying if I said this news about my voice didn't kick my butt. It did. It hit me emotionally. Physically. Financially. But thanks for the support of fans and friends, I'm alright. I'm very grateful. The issues are neurological, which makes them challenging, but I'm doing acupuncture (thank you Karen Moore), diet, supplements, and lots of vocal therapy. Botox injections into my vocal folds did not work and made the problem ten times worse. Ain't an option. I had to learn to talk again. And I have learned to sing around it. In full disclosure, I've had periodic trouble with my voice my whole career (since 1990). I raised keys and I compensated for it. I lowered keys and I compensated for it. My voice problems and epilepsy are linked. I know that now. It's a relief to have an answer. It was a problem. It has taken 18 painful months to get to the flip side of this problem. But I'm not talking about the diagnosis. I'm talking about my attitude. I had to fix it. And it's fixed. I have arrived at a solution. That is: Onward. I ain't retiring. And I ain't quitting. I have shows on the books. Just a few. And that's how the future will be. A few live shows a year and the "Live From Wilory Farm" monthly online live stream we pre-record. But 100% of my heart going forward will be folded into community service with the OYOU (Own Your Own Universe). Nothing will be like it was, but honestly, is anything like it was for any of us before this pandemic? I also want to add, that diagnosis be damned, I finished Project 5 with an album called, "Pilgrim's Progress Project 5.5." The new album comes out September 3rd. The first single is up on my website, along with a press release, and my GoatNotes (which goes into further details about this post). As always, thanks for your support. With Respect, Terri Hendrix P.S. If you are reading this and have what I have, don't you give up. Those vowel sounds are a bear. I get it. Hang tough. It's what we have. It's not who we are. P.S.P.S. I'll be adding videos here about what is working and what is not. I welcome feedback on what works for you and what does not. Finding information isn't easy. Let's share.
