Annie59,

I also have trouble speaking. Not being able to speak is very frustrating and this is my biggest issue right now.

I think there are so many muscles used for speaking that different ones get tired on different days. Sometimes I feel out of breath, other times my mouth has difficulty forming the correct sounds and other times I have a hard time making sounds and my voice gets more and more quiet until I can barely speak.

Another thing that effects my speaking is if I get generally weak, on my worst days, this causes 'brain fog' and then I can't even think of the words I want to say. This is the worst feeling because I know what I want to say, but I can't find the words in my mind.

I hope your appointment went well.
