Today’s episode of GOOD Morning Britain had viewers in tears as Chris Kamara discussed his fight with apraxia of speech.
The 64-year-old openly discussed how his disease, which is caused by an underactive thyroid, is hurting his capacity to communicate.
Kammy, a football analyst, informed pals Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins that he was having a better day today.
“If I describe my apraxia, we take for granted the fact that when we think and express ourselves through speech, it’s comfortable, simple, and natural,” he remarked.
“When my apraxia is bad, it prevents those signals from the brain from reaching my mouth. Things slows it down and slurs the speech at times. ‘Is he all right?’ many are wondering. Is he inebriated? ‘What’s wrong with him?’
“I never in a million years expected such a response when I sent out the message after Soccer Saturday, but everyone has been so clever and nice.” People who I haven’t spoken to in 30 or 40 years have contacted me to wish me luck.”
Experts are unknown how long Kamara’s path to complete recovery will take, but he’s doing everything he can to conquer it, according to Kamara, who is working with a speech therapist.
He stated that his singing voice is unaffected and that he is not seeking pity.
Viewers, on the other hand, were affected by the larger-than-life broadcaster’s struggle.
