[Guest guest]

HI BELINDA.

YES. I HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH SPEECH.

NEVER USED TO HAVE PROBLEMS - WITH SPEECH ANYWAY.

YET NOW, OFTEN - I EITHER HESITATE - HAVING A HARD TIME COMING UP

WITH THE WORDS, OR THEY JUST DON'T COME OUR RIGHT. AND I DON'T MEAN

THAT I OFFEND OTHERS - THEY JUST FLAT COME OUT WRONG, SO I HAVE TO

REPEAT MYSELF... FOR THAT MATTER - SOMETIMES THEY JUST DON'T COME

OUT AT ALL. OF COURSE... I FIND MYSELF STUTTERING SOME NOW TOO.

WEIRD STUFF. TRULY WEIRD.

NO REAL SLURRED SPEECH. WELL, I TAKE THAT BACK... THERE HAVE BEEN

TIMES OF THAT IN RECENT WEEKS/MONTHS AS WELL. OF COURSE - WANT A

REAL FUNNY?

MAYBE I'M JUST HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY MOUTH IN GENERAL? AS I BITE

MY TONGUE ALMOST DAILY. ONE DAY - I BIT IT 5 TIMES!

:-)

PAUL

BY THE WAY... I DON'T TEND TO TELL OTHERS WHEN I SEE STUFF MOVING

EITHER - JUST MAKES THEM VALIDATE WHAT THEY ALREADY SUSPECTED - THAT

I'M WEIRD.

OH... DO YOU HAVE DARKENING OF VISION AS WELL? I GET WHAT I GUESS

COULD BE TERMED TUNNEL VISION NOW. I ALSO GET FLASHES OF LIGHT ALL

AROUND. DOC SAYS THAT'S INDICATIVE OF MIGRAINES.

OK... I'LL REALLY END IT NOW - - - - PAUL
