Speaking like lost voice/clamp throat
So I'm unsure what's going on and I'm kinda of in the it could be X y and z but yeah.
I get spasms in my throat, lower face/neck quite often my tongue also.
So when they started in monday I tried to just went with it. I could sing but soon as I stopped it spasmed and choked me yey. Tongue was getting stuck in places yada yada. Talking became difficult.
Since then. It takes all the effort to speak in broken breathes and voice. I can get a few words at most before I need a hefty breath.
Earlier on I was trying to explain to my husband finally getting the confidence to try speak for any length of time. It took me way too long to get a few sentences out and as it went on it got harder and harder to get words out, certain words threw challenges at me and it just o got to the point I had to say I have to stop because my throat felt like it was being clamped shut.
- the reason I'm thinking it's not a cold or something.
When I concentrate I can get my throat to open and almost get normal voice out. If I try to sing I can feel it loosen. But gosh darn it's exhausting.
I'm doing my speech therapy exercises - a few months ago they said I have tense larynx either spasms or stress related. But this is interesting.
Anyone else? - sorry if I'm rubbish at explaining.
@elliesmith Hiya Having lived fairly close to you, but now live in England don't worry I've invaded the place😃 One thing I have had to do is slow my speech down as these people can't understand me talking as I would back home. Ms has now made it very difficult to talk, I can't find the right words and stutter quite a bit. So I've had to slow it down again and think about what I'm saying before I say it. Just wondering do you take any meds for spacicity or cramps in your legs or anywhere? I would call your ms nurse they'll have experienced this before.
Invasion woo. Haha I mix up my words easily random words sneak into my speak (before this). I can't seem to speak fast just now because do have to concentrate on just getting any sound out that might sound like a word. I take baclofen 30mg a day for spasticity and tegretol 400mg for spasticity too. It helps but generally I'm just getting through rather than comfortable (neuro took the baclofen down from 40mg earlier in the year, cause I was "floppy" ). I may have a slightly difficult time calling my nurse right about now if you catch my drift :P I keep considering if it's something else or something. Or maybe it'll get better (well I'd assume it will at some point). I'm kinda like. Do I talk to my GP well squeeled at them or interpretive dance at them. Or something first. I dunno.
