Question: aphasia (Reminded by an old thread)

[Marvencwe]

During my time with my last Master, I sometimes experienced an odd side effect of really intense sessions such as the one I just commented on ( http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=558084 ).

After-- um, afterward, once I was done screaming....I couldn't talk.

It wasn't a case of hoarseness or losing my voice--I could make sounds, noises, but words wouldn't come.

He untied me and asked if I was okay; I smiled at him and started to say "More than okay, wonderful--" and what came out was "Mah ab bah--" and then I panicked and stopped.

It scared both of us badly that time; it lasted for hours, too. No matter what I tried to say, all that came out was meaningless syllables.

I managed to write down on paper what the problem was and he said if I was still like that in the morning we would go to the hospital.

Fortunately, after about six hours I was able to talk again. It's happened a couple times since and I certainly intend to warn future Masters of the possibility.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Interesting!

So long as you warn any play partners ahead of time, I can't see it being an issue. certainly not a reaction I have encountered thus far myself.

OK, I'm not a doctor and I don't even play one on TV so not that I'd say this is a bad thing, but if it were me, I'd at least talk to a doctor about this. It very well could be nothing at all, because we're all different and the human mind has a lot of very unusual intricacies about it. But, this also has similar symptoms to a stroke and so I'd at least like to know I wasn't always going to have issues with this sort of thing during heavy sexual relations.

It could just be the way your brain is wired. Like I said, we're all different and I could say my mind is very strangely wired and be telling you the honest truth. I'd just play it safe and bring it up the next time you see your doctor. Or if you can't bring yourself to talk to your doctor...maybe a nurse or maybe if there is an "ask a nurse" program in your area.

Honestly, I wish I could make a woman speechless like that, but I'd also hate to cause her needless harm.

Six hours is a long time to experience symptoms like that. There are many types of aphasia. and dysarthria.

I am not dispensing medical advice, but I think it would be a good thing to mention it to your doctor.

In no way am I trying to frighten you, as a nurse I just find symptoms like that, for a duration of hours, unsettling. If you feel shy, and comfortable talking to a stranger nurse, you may private message me.

I'll second DVS in saying talk to a doctor. It's possible that your aphasia is stress induced, particularly if you have a history of migraines or epilepsy, but I wouldn't take the chance. There are so many bad diagnosis that have aphasia as a symptom that I'd want to be sure I was in the clear. A stroke being one of the "better" diagnosis on the list should be concerning.

And I'm not suggesting, but if you were under the influence of alcohol or drugs they could be the cause too.

I would have gone to the hospital at the onset and would recommend you do so in the future if you don't get cleared before then. I assure you the ER personal have seen crazier.

Whoa. By the sounds of it, this isn't a life or wellbeing threatening response, and it seems to be something that happens in particular circumstances. So let's not go scaring the poor girl!

On the other hand, I do agree that talking to a doctor would be wise. It might be worth something as a medic alert bracelet to warn that you suffer from aphasia in extreme circumstances so if you are in an accident the response staff don't assume you are suffering from brain damage. I'm not going to say it's something bad, because I don't get that from what you are describing. But I'm not a doctor. So I do agree it would be worth checking out.

 

[infid3l]

Wow, that is quite the after-effect!

My unprofessional opinion would also be just check with your doc, just to be safe. You could say it was after "intense exertion" :giggles:

I have an odd effect that happens, nothing close to yours, but odd; I do have migraines / auras... my lips (on my face) go numb from really intense sex. Feels really very strange.

If you ever hear what causes your after-effect, please let us know. Very curious.

Or lets do scare her because she's consulting a bdsm board rather than a medical professional when part of her brain literally stops functioning on multiple occasions that she voluntarily repeated.

I was toning it down earlier, had this happened to me I'd be at the ER so fast I very well might have called an ambulance.

 

[FungiUg]

[...]had this happened to me I'd be at the ER so fast I very well might have called an ambulance.

Yeah, but what would you have called the ambulance? Probably something like "ahbahbahbah".

Mental image of turning up at ER with aphasia from intense sexual play and trying to explain it...

I would have been extra humiliated, being among coworkers, but I still would have gone. And she said she could write.

Damn. Maybe I'm laissez-faire about health issues, and I'm certainly not a health care professional, but this really doesn't sound like that big a deal to me. Between sensory overload and exhaustion, some non-essential functions shut down temporarily. I don't see imminent danger.

At work when a patient can't speak the most frequent culprit is brain injury, so yea, I take it seriously. Number two would be overdose.

Exactly. That's why I would think wearing a medic alert bracelet might be a good idea.

I think the fact that it has happened multiple times is important. It might indicate an underlying problem. Aphasia is not as dangerous as other symptoms, like seizures (don't want to do THAT while driving), but something is clearly not correct in the OP's brain. (On my crappy phone in Japan, forgive me for forgetting who is the OP here.)

At this point I'd make a non-emergency appointment with a PCP, be honest with them, and let them decide if a neurology follow-up is called for.

Yeah... a brain is a dangerous thing to ignore. When it's giving you that kind of <crossed> signals, it's trying to tell you that something is ... not entirely right.

Like DVS and others, I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV (see disclaimer in sigline!), but I've been around a few years and a few hospitals and a few really, really sick people (with brain issues). Tain't nuthin' to futz around with.

 

[YourCaptor]

Sweet, he fucked you speechless.

That doesn't sound like an aphasia/the inability to properly use language, but more like a problems with motor control.

Meaningless words or babble would be a result of wernickes aphasia, language comprehension problems. People who have such an aphasia do not understand any language, they can't understand what people say to them, they can't write, they cant read, and they cannot chose to stop speech.

I would suspect problems with speech muscles.

You can do an experiment, next time it happens try singing a song you know very well. See if that comes out comprehensible.

 

[Marvencwe]

Thank y'all for your input--

It happened thrice that I remember, and each occurrence lasted a shorter time. (I believe the second was for about two hours and the last one less than an hour.)

It didn't frighten us then, since it had gone away spontaneously the first time. (I will admit that sheer embarrassment did influence our decision to wait until morning on the ER visit.)

I may mention it (with the euphemism of "intense and vigorous activity") next time I have any truck with a doctor. (No, no other factors than "exertion": no alcohol, no drugs--prescript or otherwise--no breathplay, nothing.)

I'm wondering about the muscle thing mentioned by YourCaptor, since I could *communicate* (read/write/use the smattering of ASL common to both of us), I just couldn't articulate. If it is/was indeed a muscle problem rather than brain, perhaps my body is learning to deal with it in shorter and shorter spans of time.

(The last time it happened Master was comfortable enough to incorporate it: told me that I was f***ing perfect that way and since I couldn't talk, there were better things for my mouth to be occupied with....)
