On days when I am proud of myself for appearing only half psychotic, my family tells me that my speech is slurred. Yet when I feel I am struggling to get words out and my mind feels is having some sort of syllable traffic jam, people tell me that they notice nothing. Now either my family is playing a nasty trick on me, and considering the fact that my family's jokes range from perverse to little rubber frogs wrapped as Christmas gifts , this IS possible. Saying this word alone would make a person slur. Doctor I have Dysssarthhria.
Dysarthria is difficult, poorly articulated speech.
Looking at this definition I resigned to diagnose all workers of a fast food drive-thru with dysarthria. I have wondered if my doctor even used this word. Now my family and friends would not believe the denture excuse for one minute. Blaming it on alcohol would not be prudent when at the grocery store at 10am. I never imagined that alcohol, dentures, and neurological disorder could be put it in the same medical arena.
