My family thinks I’m lazy and I talk too slow. This annoys my adult kids. They actually don’t want to talk to me because I talk too slow.
Anyone that has this condition can tell you that one of the first things to be affected is the voice. At least it was with me. I sound like a 110 year old with a soar throat. People on the phone assume I have a bad cold or flu. I just go along with it. Others mistake me for my son because my voice or what’s left of it is just too deep.
My own husband even accused me of talking like this on purpose. He said I’m not trying. They think I do this on purpose. I don’t. I love music. I love to sing along with my favorite songs, but I can’t until my “magic pills” kick in.
