Hi there:
I love this site!!!! There's something for everyone here. This my first post and I have a concern. For the past 2 1/2 years I have been experiencing speech difficulties stemming from a very difficult birth resulting in stroke like symptoms. I have had Myasthenia Gravis for the past 12 years and it was viciously exacerbated after the birth of my beautiful daughter. I am an LPN and haven't been able to work since receiving my license (I became pregnant shortly after graduating) I would LOVE to work but feel intimidated by my nasal voice. Some words don't come out clearly. I don't speak on the phone much due to this problem. Although the condition is slowly getting better, I am still reluctant to "step out". ANY words of advice on what area of nursing I should try that won't require me to speak TOO much and any additional advice would be GOLDEN.
Thank you for reading
Natty

Find a speech pathologist/therapist who can help you. It will be worth every penny you pay. Look for a speech pathology educational program in your area: you should be able to get reduced rates through the student clinic.
