thanks all. I am having investigations at Sheffield Royal Hallamshire hospital - already had tests and now booked in for scans and they are testing for bulbar onset motor neurone disease (well, trying to eliminate that possibility really!) I am due over there in two weeks. I had all sorts of other symptoms, difficulties swallowing, sleeplessness, lack of appetite constant chest infections but these have mostly cleared up over the last month. I am just left with slurring speech and no one really knows why - the neurologists are on the case! I have been praying, my friends and relatives all over the world have been praying for months now. I'm not at all depressed, just very worried that it may be motor neurone disease. I have been taking manuka honey and my hair, my skin, my nails are better than they have ever been and I feel really well - just my voice is a nuisance, sounds raspy and I seem to run out of air when I speak sometimes. I thought that perhaps I could do with help with that and my larynx. I am getting married on April 12th so I need to be OK to repeat my vows!!! and Jess, no, no diagnosis yet. It takes so long for appointments to come through = just feel in limbo.
