Hi, slurred speech is one of the symptoms of Ataxia, I have cerebellar ataxia, with B12 deficiency. I would speak with your specialist.

Hi, some time ago I was feeling pretty awful. I do have PA and inject weekly. However I was so sure that something else was wrong. One day I started slurring my words, this came along with numbness in both my arms. Turned out that I had a very serious magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is not routinely tested for and while it may not be the reason for you slurring your speech it is worth being tested for. Good luck.
