As sufferers of Fibromyalgia can experience the ill effects of constant agony – pretty much as endures of M.E (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) do – so some of the time the cerebrum battles to process the majority of the data that is being sent to it.

This is regularly the situation when the individual is experiencing what is known as a flare-up.

    So I imagine many debilitating illnesses might cause speech issues. Fatigue is caused by many conditions and can lead to poor cognitive functions. Great and informative post, btw. If you live with fibromyalgia or support someone who does, this explains a lot.

    Very imformative.
    As a Fibromyalgia sufferer for many years its nice to know that some people out there are understanding of how this effects people.
    You have brought up a subject that will make ‘ newbie’ FM sufferers know.
    As my family and friends have got to know over the years, my lack of being able to retrieve the words to say what I want has become a friendly joke..everyones just carries on and try to ‘fit in’ what I may be trying to say.
    Sadly trying to talk to someone outside my circle can be very upsetting as I know they think I just lack intelligence! I do have the words but sometimes they just can’t come out of my mouth!
    Anyone that has FM, hopefully you know you are not alone.

  3. I have a lot of speech issues. Can’t remember words, names, or even have trouble explaining something. I remain quiet when I’m in mixed company. Others think it’s funny and even laugh at me when I’m struggling to say something or trying to remember someone’s name. It’s so heartbreaking.

    I too have difficulty speaking and forming thoughts very fast., usually it is worse when I’m tired, which is most of the time, and very stressed. I have found belly breathing very calming, concentrate on breathing in through your nose expanding stomach and breath out through an open mouth. I too have strange looks and have been laughed at by others not being very patient or understanding, but, I know I am doing the best I can and I try my best to ignore them.

  5. TC, I can so relate to what you are going thro. I experience 90% of the fibro symptom’s and on several of the meds for fibro.
    My Dr has not committed to saying I have fibro. I have had these symptom’s for about 8 years now. Retirement, relocating 400 miles away, with the loss of a daughter (48 yrs) to BC in 2010 , loosing my husband to dementia, a few years later, It has had an emotional toll. I have read Trauma may also enhance Fibromyalgia. And I have had lots of that. Also loosing my only brother in an automobile accident last year.
    I tend to stay home a lot, Physically I can’t hardly shop for groceries, put them in car, unload the car, put them away, then it is time to rest! I don’t have the energy to do anything else the rest of the day.
    I know I am not alone, there are so many suffering from this disease,

      Patricia I’m so terribly sorry for all the losses you have had to endure! May God bless you with strength & endurance! You will be in my thoughts & prayers. Love & tender hugs…😔🙏🤗

  6. As a diagnosed fibromyalgia patient my speech is work now. Gradually it has gotten harder to form words. My speech is slow and halting….After a week of hospital testing they found nothing and attributed it to fibromyalgia, with the body wide pain and profound fatigue. It’s been 5 years since my speech changed.
