speech

The loss of the ability to speak clearly is VERY DEPRESSING!It is also one of the most embarrassing & frustrating of all the challenges for a PD patient.

Because I am relateivly young, most people, who do not know me assume I am Drunk when my speech slurs. When my voice becomes soft and inaudible,it is most frustrating for my loved ones and I often feel that loss of speech could at times become life threatening.

I cannot begin to imagine how older PD sufferer's and their Carer's cope!
