Believe it or not something like this happened to me in the 1980s so I found this woman's story both fascinating and bewildering. A 31 year old woman in the UK was having headaches,then she started speaking with a deeper voice which then slowed and slurred causing her coworkers to think she had a stroke. She was examined at a hospital and they determined she was fine health wise but now she was unable to speak at all. A neurologist told her to take a vacation and relax. A few days into the vacation she was able to speak again,though now she has several different accents,Russian,French,Polish and Italian even though she had never spoke a foreign language before. In March of this year she was diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome and though she is working with a speech therapist it is unknown if she will regain her normal speech.
