How Can Speech Impairment Caused By A TIA Be Treated?
I have had trouble with my speech for over a year - resulting from what doctors now say was probably a TIA. My tongue sticks out to the right side when I expose it. My articulation is not bad - s sound is difficult. I have every test imaginable by a nerologist @ Duke. Does the cranial nerve that controls my tongue (if damaged) repair itself over time? Thanks, David
