Are you experiencing remission from dysphonia after speech therapy?

It's wonderful that your voice has more tone and is less breathy! This improvement could indicate several things. Speech therapy exercises targeting vocal cord control and muscle strength can lead to noticeable improvements in voice quality, which you're experiencing.

The improvement you're noticing might be:

- A positive response to speech therapy techniques
- A natural remission of MS symptoms
- A combination of both therapy benefits and symptom improvement

MS symptoms can fluctuate, and some people do experience periods of remission where symptoms improve or disappear. However, speech therapy itself can also create lasting improvements by strengthening the muscles involved in speech and teaching you techniques to compensate for any remaining challenges.

It's important to continue working with your speech-language pathologist and keep your neurologist informed about these positive changes. They can help determine whether this is a remission or the result of your therapy work, and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Keep up with your exercises and techniques even as you improve - this can help maintain your progress.
