Default Slurred speech

Hi, All
Thanks for being so supportive. This is my situation: My husband is at sea (off to Africa) for six weeks, we have two teen daughters, 13 and 17 yrs, I work full time and my kids just might have come down with swine flu. We don't have any relatives here and there are days when I feel I should see a neuro (but it's impossible to get through to one as the clinic at the hospital only takes calls for one hour a day and a very limited amount of calls are sifted through each day). I don't want to leave the kids and be away for 24 hrs. My neck feels week, and I've already mentioned the breathing issues. Today I received a summons to a single fibre examination in November. (The neuro couldn't get any decent readings when she did the EMG on my shoulder/neck muscles).
Now to my question: I have slurred speech. I teach, and I've been extremely tired these past weeks and my speech seems to be affected. Does this happen to you, too (I ask as I'm terrified the neuro might say ALS and not MG).

Thanks for listening
