Hi "BB" and WELCOME to the group!! I'm glad you stumbled upon us -- very appropriate! I'm not sure this is the same thing you have, but my throat, "voice", gets really tired when I talk. This is one of the reasons I don't like to talk on the phone very much. It's a hard thing for others without MS to understand.
Also have some difficulty swallowing and take forever to eat. Do you have trouble with liquids? Seems like they so easily go down the wrong way.
Hope you stick around to compare notes with all the great people here!
