Geng***Re: febrile seizures and Apraxia?

[Guest guest]

I have to reply to this, I am not a physician, but my daughter's

speech therapist told me this when I first mentioned apraxia...She

told me that adults that have strokes often get apraxia, that is why

they loose their speech after a stroke and have to learn it again.

I just wonder if there isn't something to this...., could you

check with Dr Agin on this, or see what you can find out?
