Speech, yup, mine is related to repeated inflammatory damage (Neurogenic) to cervical nerves that control speech. Sometimes my voice sounds raspy, too, which I thought was caused by my CPAP. Overtime, I learned it was Neurogenic. So, I learned to have fun with it, talking about movie scenes with characters using raspy voices. ..., if I can't think of one, I make up a character.

I know it’s something cause I can carry on a conversation and all of sudden words won’t come out but I see the word in my head or i quickly forget get what I was going to say next. It’s very frustrating for me cause 5 yrs ago it was fine.

Stiffer speech? Like you can't say the word at the moment but 5 minutes later you can
I hate the way my pillow looks in the morning it's from my mouth.
