Arizona woman suffers Foreign Accent Syndrome

2 2 imagine going to sleep and waking up with a foreign accent. 2 it's not a joke -- it really happens. 2 and one arizona woman has had it happen to her three times. 2 jason volentine spoke with her ... and filed this report: 2 michelle myers/has foreign accent syndrome: "everyone only sees mary poppins or hears mary poppins." 2 not a british nanny. 2 this former texas beauty queen has never left the u-s-a. 2 michelle myers/has foreign accent syndrome: "who would do this for attention? i don't know." 2 three times, michelle myers has gone to sleep with blinding headaches, waking up with different accents - irish, australian, and ... british for the past couple years. 2 michelle myers/has foreign accent syndrome: "they send in the psychiatrist at hospital and make sure you're not a loon." 2 not crazy. 2 not faking it. 2 she was diagnosed with foreign accent syndrome -- a rare condition that usually accompanies a stroke, neurological damage, or underlying health issue. 2 michelle myers/has foreign accent syndrome: "when i was little girl i used to always go to my mom and say my bones hurt." 2 the stack of medical papers says michelle also has ehlers-danlos syndrome. 2 it causes bruising and painful joints. 2 and - best her doctors can tell -- it turned her british. 2 looking back at how she used to be is difficult. 2 -nats - 2 "i guess you still have it in your head ... i feel like a different person. the person i am now has been through so much compared to this person here." 2 but her outlook is sunny --- 2 -nats - 2 always surrounded by her seven kids - and their music... 2 -nats - 2 but wondering if the sounds of her voice -- 2 -nats - 2 will ever change again.
