    Pain and Suffering

    I have dystonia and it affects my voice and my ability to swallow. A week ago I went to a Dr. and he checked my voice and throat. All week I have been having bloody noises. I had an appt with him today but canceled as I feel worse now than before the procedure. Every time I swallow the spasms start the picture I have shows my voice looks normal but the small picture where the air is suppose to go through is dark and ugly. I coughed up a blood clot the size that would fill the tiny whole where the air is to go. At night when I try to breath you can actually hear my throat claping shut as the air is escaping.

    All this makes sense as I was exposed at work to a chemical that removes the oxygen from the air. My body is trying to get as much oxygen to remain in my body as possible. The problem is if my service animal is unable to wake me - she panics, I panic and start to cry. This causes further complications as the mucus from crying and the stress of trying to breath is exhusting; further the spasms result.
