Hi. Yes. Unfortunately the speech is effected from seizure. This makes perfect sense when you consider how the brain oversees the function of the whole body. I notice that prior to a seizure and after the seizure my speech is delayed and sometimes slurred. This is due to the abnormal firing of the neurons in the brain. This same principle is why some people experience blurred vision in conjunction with speech difficulties before, during, and after a seizure.Linda.
