Hi,
I was diagnosed with Lupus at the end of last year after 4 years of pretty poor health. So far I have avoided reading too much and I'm just taking each day as it comes. However, I wanted to ask for some advice.
In November 2007 I developed a very bad stutter, thats the best way I can describe it. I know the words I want to say but I just can't say them! At the time I was in what I now know to be a lupus flare and thankfully as things got easier my speech returned, though it has never gone back to normal.
Over the past month or so I have been struggling again and last weekend was diagnosed with pleurisy and pedicarditis. This might sound silly but it's the appearence of the speech problems again that is causing me the most upset. I can't find anything anywhere about lupus related speech problems and I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction or if others experience anything similar?
Thanks in advance for your help
Natalya
