Speech

I try to relax and remind myself that I should not get stressed out because that will make it worse

I have to just rest my voice, I keep my phone calls short. Also try not to get stressed

Slurred speech was one of my first symptoms before my diagnosis of mg and probably only lasted for about ten minutes. Since my thymectomy I have been symptom free for over three years now with no signs of slurred speech

hello , I normally take my medication (mestinon) and take a break from speaking. When I have slurred speech, talking seems impossible. Juliana mentioned that her husband goes speech therapy. Have you asked your doctor of different ways to help improve your speech? Sometimes taking a nap helps too, anything that will let your body rest from using the muscle too much. - Jazmin (team member)
