Mood

Ever since I was little, I've been able to do this thing with my neck... I call it a clicky thing because I don't know what else to call it... If I turn my neck a certian way, it moves, or happens, and if I don't make it move, it's hard to breathe and swallow. But if I move it too much, my voice suffers and the muscles get irritated. I always complained about it when I was little, but the doctors and even my mom ignored me, and basically told me not to do whatever I can do with my neck. That was when I was like 5-7. I'm 16 now, so my mom decided to take me to the doctor for it while also going for an ear infection. Recently, along with this clicky-thing, my voice has been very VERY low, although to myself, I feel as if I'm talking normally, everyone thinks I'm mumbling. They told us to go to the ENT doctor for this, and we just did today. He examined me, and my mom explained everything while I smiled because I was nervious. He said that the problem with my throat is the most severe case he's ever seen, and he's only seen about 4 others, so I'm #5. He's sending me for a CT scan TTATT

Here's a pic:

Apparently, these two, the Hyoid bone and the larynx (the larynx sheilds the voice box), are apparently rubbing against eachother when I move it, which isn't supposed to happen. Both of these in my throat are apparently closer together than they are supposed to be, which is why I can do this. If I do it too much, like I said, my voice box gets irritated and suffers, so I can't speak loudly a lot of the time.

Now I have to get a CT scan and they probobly won't be able to do anything about it, because the neck is the most fragile part of the body.

God, if I do have any surgery, I'll be just like Kankuro in my story when he got surgery from the werewolf hunter in his neck TTATT I guess it'd work out the same way, 'cause I can't sing well anymore although I used to be in a choir, but if this is fixed, I'll be exactly like Kankuro and will sing again ;v;

(perhaps I should stop writing my story, it keeps predicting the future ;A; )
