David-thanks for your answers on the CT-makes me feel better.
Liz- Rob and I are similar in the tight jaw happening when we started eating. Thats exactly when this got worse. I would've thought it would get "looser" cuz I was using it to eat. No so. Why do you think our speech is slurred? Is he still slurring? I was talking fine after rad for about 2 months & then it just started out of nowhere. So frustrating.
