uncotrollable groans

[marc1106]

hello all my mum in-law has PBP and has lost her speech, she is under a consultant and has just had a peg fitted!
my question is she constantly lets out this GROAN (for want of a better word) and its driving my dad in-law crazy ,he thinks shes doing it for attention iv told him that i dont think she can help or control it. is it symptom of PBP for sufferers to groan uncontrolably?
she has a Light-writer on loan from MND socc, and uses this to comunicate so i dont beleive she is moaning for attention.

thanks in advance Marc.

Now that you mention it, I realise my mum groans too. I have sometimes wondered if this is her trying to form a word. I asked her once if it was to hear sound. She indicated yes but honestly I don't think she has much if any control over it. I imagine constant groaning is hard to be with but I doubt it will be to attract attention .....sure there's a bell on the lightwriter for that!

Here's hoping your dad in law will acclimatise.
All the best

My husband groans ALL OF THE TIME. I know it's not for attention. I don't think he can really help it. It embarrasses him.

My mom also does this, when she is awake and asleep both, this is something she cannot control,
