's survey on speech deterioration

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

As you know, a speak with my Enkidu. I can count on one hand the

people who can understand me.

Here's my progression:

1. when tired, cold or stressed,words slurred.

2. when singing, some notes just didn't come out.

3. I noticed loss of lip control putting on lipstick.

4. problems keeping mouth closed when chewing and swallowing

5. " g " was the first sound to go

6. speech slower

7. by Aug. 03, I was pretty bad but still could answer phone in the

mornings. I got my Enkidu then.

8. I gradually used the Enkidu more ever since.

I think this is about right.

I first went to a neuro in Sept. 01, as my mouth wasn't symmetrical,

but my speech was ok. I also had been tripping and falling for about

3 years prior, but it never occurred to me the problems were related!

Some of you non-speakers may want to e-mail directly rather

than go public. Whatever makes you comfortable - just please

participate! This may help us!!
