I'm not sure this is the same, but I remember that my brain would not engage my mouth. I could not pronounce words I was very familiar with and I had difficulty finishing a sentence. My words got all tied up.

My mouth was always very dry. Seventy percent of the fluids that we take in are absorbed in the small intestines. Will the villi damaged, you don't get the fluids you need to function properly.

This is a sign of malabsorption. B-12 injection were extremely helpful in the early days of my diagnosis. And drink lots of water.

Wow!! Yes, this happens to me, too. I just thought it was from letting myself get too tired. I just realized that I haven't had this problem since I have been more careful about CC.

The only thing that helps me through it is vocal rest and body rest.

I was chronically dry and was having problems with dysphonia. I am a voice teacher so this was a real problem. I couldn't drink enough water. Turns out my leaky gut was really causing much of the trouble. Now that I am gluten-free and paleo as well I only drink a few little sips of water to take my supplements of D, Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc. Otherwise I get my fluids from the fruits and veggies I eat daily. I am no longer dehydrated and my vocal health has gotten remarkably better as well as my dry eyes. You may also want to try relaxing your breath as far down into your body as you can if you have been struggling to speak. You may be doing the equivalent of trying to drive down the street with your foot on the brake if you are becoming apprehensive about your voice. When you try to push more air through a dehydrated instrument you actually increase the probability of vocal dysfunction. Think of speaking from your body..clear down to your toes, instead of forcing from your throat. Hope you feel better soon.
