    I have had this difficulty with speaking (finding the right word, slurring, etc) even before my diagnosis with MD. I am thinking it is associated with the issues with the vestibular nerve. I have heard that large doses of folic acid help with this brain fog. Right now, I am taking prenatal vitamins and DHA which is also supposed to help with tal sharpness. Physical therapy involving vestibular training can help with the spinning attacks and help you learn to cope with them. Hang in there and I wish you the best.
