    Unique Issue with Speech?

    Hello, first time posting here. Nice to meet you all. I was diagnosed with FM in 2013 but have had the symptoms since 2011. It's been a tough thing to come to terms with, but as the years have gone on I have become more and more accepting of it. Anyway, I'm not really here to share my story...

The gist of it is this. Several years ago my brother in law (my husbands brother) got into a fight with...
