Speech Disorders in MS - National MS Society

[PersephonePersonified]

I think personally what works best is-
Be patient with yourself. Let yourself stop, stabilize, slowly remember what you are trying to say. Give yourself time to say what you want to say.
I have a harder time in public places, and feel rushed to keep up the pace of the conversation. Or if I’m interrupted I forget what I was trying to say.
But that’s ok. Give yourself time and be kind to yourself. You’re trying as best you can and that’s 100% commendable.
And remember tomorrow is a new day with newer opportunities.
Stay MS Strong.

Excellent videos. I have a lesion in the cerebellum that effects my balance slightly, and one in my brainstem that causes a very slight slur, particularly when I'm tired, stressed, or very hot. Hi Kate!!! You're awesome.

Kate did a nice interview. Very appropriate interview.

People always think I’m drunk. I live in a small town and it’s embarrassing that so many think I’m just wasted.

Does stuttering and inability to find words or having the word in you mind and but saying another part of this

[EnigmaGirl]

I've had MS for seven years and I've had problems with speech. I have difficulty finding the right words, putting sentences together so they make sense and just stop talking mid sentence.

I already have a speech problem so I don't think that's the case with me but I noticed I've been doing a lot of stuttering lately too.

I was on the the phone with my friend and my speech got slurry . . so aggravating.
