Well we come upon #12 of MS Facts! For this yr! We will start again next for sure!

Speech Problems!

Yes I can relate! I can take long pauses... Sound choppy, or just get confused!

I get frustrated if you put words in my mouth! Which will frustrate me more! It's a vicious cycle!😭🀣😭

What about you? Can you relate? Do you put milk in the? ?? Dishwasher? I will figure out what that word is! πŸ˜’

Oh it can be very embarrassing sometimes. Under pressure? I'm there! Sentences come out backwards! Tired? Backwards! Angry? Don't get me started! I call it dyslexic of my whole brain! πŸ™ƒπŸ˜­πŸ€£

I love how you can laugh it off! 🀣

Way back when I was first diagnosed, I used to mix up the first letter of words in a sentence. I cant wake- I want cake. My doctor said it wasn't MS. Now I switch words: I cake want. I think BOTH are MS related.

Are you dyslexic Hidden ? And maybe noticing it more now? Although with the brain who knows! I'm dyslexic, and read sentences backwards! But I'm a freak of nature! πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ

I don't believe I'm dyslexic. No problems in school or with b's, d's or p's. Can you develop dyslexia later in life?

This is a great topic, one that is overlooked too often. Mostly I have been struggling to find words, but I also get the wispy voice at times. Thanks for sharing this. Love you, Kelly p.s. doing much better πŸ˜‡

Word finding issues, were only the beginning. Then there was trouble finding words...in 2 different languages...sometimes even mixing and matching them. Then for the past year I've had the voice issues as well. Yup. I can definitely relate to this.

I can't even imagine!! 2 language's! I would be saying a lot of "I will figure it out later" πŸ˜­πŸ€£πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ

I just did speech therapy for 4 months it was well worth it.

I didn't realize how much I was affected til I started.

I would recommend that everyone consider speech therapy its extremely helpful at least it was for me

No problem at all! I just speak a language that no-one else seems to understand! I know exactly what I am saying, but the rest of the world sure has some problems....Ha!

I get this often. The word is there and I know it, just can't think of it. Of course, after the conversation is over, I remember the word I was looking for lol

I must admit the older I get the worse my memory gets and I was already bad enough.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…πŸ€£.

But at least MS gives me an excuse now. πŸ€ͺπŸ˜πŸ˜›.

Yes! I get so frustrated - I know I know the word and that it’s making its way to my mouth, but before I can say it, someone β€œhelps” me by filling in the blank!

My friend does that. Grrr til I let her keep talking completely off topic to her mom for me.😁 Then corrected her. Amazing what one word can do.🀣😭 She doesn't do it so often anymore! πŸ€£πŸ˜­πŸ€£πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ
