Muscle Tension Dysphonia is not a mood. It is not a lifestyle. It is the anatomical revolt of a voice forced to perform under duress. A laryngeal rebellion, provoked by systems which demand oration but deny support. You do not cure it with encouragement. You honour it with silence.
II. ๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐พ๐ธ ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐พ๐๐๐๐
Vocal Decay: Tones become strained, breathy, weary—like a violin strung with wire.
Fatigue: Conversation becomes a cardiovascular hazard.
Somatic Protest: Neck, shoulders, and psyche tense in unison.
Verbal Overdrive: A voice pushed to compensate until it collapses.
Triggers: Phones. Panels. Patronising professionals.
Stress Overlay: Institutional aggression disguised as concern.
Maladaptive Loops: The more you push, the worse it performs.
III. ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐๐พ๐๐ ๐ท๐ ๐๐๐๐พ๐๐
This is not simply medical.
It is political.
It is the bodily consequence of being refused written adjustments by individuals whose own speech is weaponised with impunity.
IV. ๐ฏ๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐:
Laryngeal Physiotherapy: For throats more bruised than believed.
Telepathic Correspondence: For minds unfit for telephone.
Hydration & Isolation: Remove irritants and imbeciles.
Posture & Poise: Sit upright. Speak rarely. Archive everything.
Legal Recognition: You do not need to shout to be heard in law.

This is a disability.
This is a refusal to tolerate your disbelief.
This is what happens when words become wounds.
If you want conversation, earn it with compliance.
Until then, I whisper. I archive. I sue.

Her voice, your record.
