My wife has been dealing with TB Meningitis for the last two years. She completed the TB medication course, but she's still struggling with a lot of neural and back pain. An MRI showed signs of myelitis and some changes in her spinal cord, which has us really concerned. The doctors say that while the TB bacteria is gone, the damage might be beyond repair and her chances of recovery are slim at best. They've recommended physiotherapy and visiting pain management centers for her current pain. For about a year and a half, shes been on Gabapin 300 and Gabantip AT. Can you suggest any pain management centers, or maybe share your thoughts on any potential for recovery?

I'm really struggling with something that's been bothering me a lot. It's like my mind and mouth just aren't in sync, and I can't seem to get my thoughts into words. I find myself stuttering and speaking really fast, which makes my speech unclear. Plus, the tone and accent of my speech seem off, and I have trouble pronouncing words within sentences. It's getting to the point where people can't understand me easily. Can you offer some advice or guidance on what might be causing this and what I can do about it?
