Kimberly Williams-Paisley Diagnosed With Laryngeal Nerve Damage<\/h2>\n

The actress admitted that she explored many different ways to repair her voice. \u201cI have damage to my laryngeal nerve. I tried everything I could to heal it,\u201d she wrote in the post<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Brad Paisley\u2019s wife also explained that she was feeling very self-conscious about her vocal cord injury. \u201cI haven\u2019t wanted to share about this much until now because it felt too vulnerable,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI\u2019ve been the quietest in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimberly explained that not being able to use her voice for self-expression was heartbreaking. \u201cI\u2019ve felt meek. New people I\u2019ve met thought I was a shy or reserved person. I\u2019ve felt trapped in my body,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

What Is Laryngeal Nerve Damage?<\/h2>\n

While Kimberly didn\u2019t share many details about her vocal cord injury. She did explain that it was a form of laryngeal nerve damage, and she said one of her vocal cords was paralyzed.<\/p>\n

The Mayo Clinic notes that vocal cord paralysis<\/a> can be caused by nerve damage as well as by viral infections or certain cancers. Many of the symptoms are very common for anyone who has lost their voice, including hoarseness, losing vocal pitch, or a breathy quality of voice.<\/p>\n

Other symptoms include trouble breathing, choking and coughing while eating, \u201cineffective coughing,\u201d and regular throat-clearing.<\/p>\n
