If the respiratory muscles are the prominently weak muscles you will sound breathless (=anxious) when you talk, if the laryngeal muscles are effected more it will change the pitch of your voice, if it your palate it will become nasal etc etc.
For me it was very embarrassing that my occupational physician has a name I find hard to pronounce 
With time I have found the solution for that-I call him by his first name.  |
The only thing that surprises me is that the doctor´s secretary keeps winking at me and saying it´s probably the menopause! Oh! And what also surprises me is that my good mood does not necessarily deteriorate along with my symptoms!
When I read ´nasal´ 20 times relating to the voice in MG on the internet I just want to be like everybody else or not have it at all!
So, myasthenia affects respiratory, palatial AND laryngeal muscles
I guess I should know that, but sometimes you just need someone
real to tell you it
Great to hear everyone´s descriptions....
Thank you,
