Definately, Xmas! It was the same at our house...My mom has always been a very slow eater...I used to finish my meals in 1/6 of the time it took her to finish...Now she's beating me...I definately agree that going to restaurants is a bit of a hassle now because of it...It's especially annoying because I often have to lean my head back when my tongue isn't working properly to get the food to move around....It's either that, or sticking a finger in there to compensate for a lethargic tongue...

But seriously, I notice such a difference now that I just finished my plasma exchange...Everyone says that my voice and speech are back to normal...It really is a great treatment!
