Ok so my hubby to be says that dad is not slurring he is speaking slower then usual. So all this time I thought that he was slurring certain words but the fact of the matter is he is speaking slower then he normally does. This comes and goes... Some days he is normal and others slower....
This is my question I have been researching on this and I see things in reference to the slow speech may mean that breathing is more difficult, some say that his throat may be having issues, and others his tounge... I am so confused is this always associated with something or could it just be that the spasticity and muscle weekness is effecting his speech and that is that?
I think it is strange how dad is being effected and I wish I could fine someone that the same sort of things have happened.
He started with the foot and then within 3 years he must walk with the cane for balence and support. No other progression during this time...
Now the last month or so it has been this speech thing.... From the foot to the speech I don't get it....
Also does this mean that if you are in this stage you are in a bad stage?
Please help my mind is raceing... At the same time I know that my nerves are making dad anxious.
