Guest guest Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have had difficulties with speech, too. I think we've discussed before. I twist up letters, have problems " spitting my words out " and even worse, I'm finding I'm substituting the wrong word for things. For example, I wanted to call salad dressing. . . get this. . . lotion! I guess that's lotion for the lettuce. I want to call a diagram a map and a menu for a calendar. Good grief. My neurologist said the same thing that a different part of the brain affects speech. I told her that Chiarians complain about this, so I feel it is connected or am I just getting old??? She also mentioned Neurontin possibly causing this. I have had the twisted letters for many years, so that is not the cause of that, but the word substitution is more recent and creepy! After all, I am a writer! Ugh. The thought just passed through that this question must be addressed somewhere on the Internet, but I don't have time to look!
