Second Reporter Experiences Garbled Speech On-Air


A similar story to one from a few weeks ago -- a reporter suddenly garbling his words in a way reminiscent of a migraine, or seizure or TIA. Link below:

I sound like that a lot myself, but most of mine is a side effect from all the medication I must take. I even type like too,

I didn't like listening to that. It reminds me of what I hear sometimes when I talk, or someone else talks. I'm told that both me and the other person are making perfect sense.

When I'm pre- and post-ictal everyone sounds like that to me. When I'm having a bad day, I sound like that to everyone.

Some of the comments were valid, including one who suggested the lighting as a trigger. Of course, most are concentrating on the complex migraine issue; few dare mention the E word *sigh*
