Yes Desertflower you explained this well and I have the same thing. When I had to be on the phone with my sis and the hosp in October around my mom I push pasted the point of the weak voice to finshed or even have the conversation I needed. that was a turning point for something else. When I pushed past 2 then 3 conversations it felt like parts of my throat were spasmed, locked up. Another piece is I have noticed that if I move my head forward 2-3 inches I can swallow without the normal 'fight' I feel in my throat. No idea what this is about.

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.  |
