Default Do you lose your ability to talk if your tongue gets cold?

This is a real problem for me, progressing lately! If I am out in the cold, drink cold water, eat ice cream, or anything like that, my speech just goes south fast! I can't move my tongue well, my speech becomes very slow and unintelligible, and I can't even explain to someone what is going on because I can barely talk! It's a fairly recent onset and getting worse quickly.

I'm also disappointed that Mestinon is not working well for me anymore. I get just a little effect from it now where it used to be a wonder drug. I've gone up to 90 mg but truly the only thing that allows me to function at all is Adderall. Usually I'm in bed or wheelchair a lot now.

But I'm most interested if anyone has this speech problem. Am I just going downhill in general?
