Slurred speech

[Heights69]

Hi all

Currently tapering down my pred- down to 30 from 60. Also on MMF. I am feeling a lot better but at around 6pm before pred my speech goes slurred! Anyone else get this?

Hello Heights

A few people slur when they are very tired, I did very badly when i was first ill, that coupled with loosing the thread of a conversation made me appear drunk or just plain nuts. To be honest by this time I would usually go very quite unless forced to speak.

I still go quiet when fatigued, and in extreme cases mumble and am rather indistinct without great effort. -But this is a very very rare.

Yes I too have problems with slurred speech and do believe fatigue has a lot to do with it, also too much noise going on around me when fatigued makes it worse almost like sensory overload. It also affects my facial muscles. I've just had gabbapentin increased again. I do seem to have an increase in neuro symptoms when I've had a flare.
