speech difficulty
 

I was diagnised 3 and half years . the only medicin i take is kamadrin.
My quality of life has been good with occasional tremor but recently my speech ability has deteriorated in marked way and i dont seem to pronounce long words properly.
I wish to hear your experince and if speech therapy helpful?

Speech
 

After I had DBS (Deep Brain Stimulator) which is infamous for affecting the ability to speak I had speech therapy. The Silverman speech is usually used successfully with Parkinsonian patients and was extremely helpful for me. I went from completely incomprensible to normal in about 6 months time. It is a program that may need to repeated a few times as we patients get overwhelmed with all the symptoms we deal with and forget to remember to use the skills learned in our original therapy.

Good luck,
Vicky

go to:
 

lsvt.org or google "Lee Silverman voice therapy" there is a list of therapists and their countries on the site.
