Tongue Tied

When I'm having a migraine I regularly find myself stammering, stuttering, and even mispronouncing words.  I also start speaking and completely lose my trail of thought mid-sentence.  It is just another lovely migraine side effect.  One that leaves me feeling like an idiot.

I had to read off of a document at a work meeting recently while I was having a migraine.  I was focused on reading everything word for word and when I finished I thought I had pulled it off flawlessly.  The guy sitting next to me started laughing and let me know I'd read something in the document wrong.  I'm not even sure what I said, but I was quite embarrassed.  It could be worse though.  Just check out the news story about a television reporter who had a migraine that caused her slurred speech on air by clicking on the link below.  (You will be routed to YouTube.)
