In Reply to: Facial muscle/speech problem? posted by Lynn on October 25, 2000 at 00:03:43:

: Lately I seem to have a problem at times with talking.
: Its very subtle and no one else can tell, but its like the muscles in my face aren't working right or something. Like its kind of hard at times to say the word clearly. Its not slurring, just like my mouth won't work right or something at times. Its kind of scary. Has anyone experienced this? I have mentioned this to my doctor and he said it likely was nothing to worry about. I feel like it is something to worry about. Any input very much appreciated!

Hi Lynn,
Sorry about your difficulty. I've heard of similar symptoms in my neuromotor class. You don't mention if your doctor is a neurologist. You may want to think about getting a second opinion from one. Some doctors tend to dismiss things they don't understand. It may be nothing, but a neurologist could tell you that. Good luck!
