Chris Kamara is waiting to find out if his speech apraxia can be "cured".
Chris Kamara has been open about his condition
The 64-year-old star - who quit Sky Sports' 'Soccer Saturday' after 24 years back in April after his diagnosis - explained how his new doctor in the United States thinks there may be a way to "cure" the condition, which causes issues with speaking.
Speaking on 'The Diary of a CEO' podcast, he said: "I’ve just been introduced to the best neurologist in America and he said because I have good days, there’s no reason why I can’t be cured.
"I’ve sent off a load of blood tests and everything to America and I’m just waiting on the results.”
The 'Ninja Warrior' presenter has tried a range of treatments in the UK, including an oxygen tent, microcurrents through his brain, hypnotherapy, vitamins and seeing a speech and anxiety therapist.
Meanwhile, Kamara has admitted he "feels like a fraud" presenting live TV after his diagnosis.
He said: "I feel a fraud now in terms of broadcasting - I don’t bring to the table what I used to.
"I feel I’m doing these programmes and they’re not getting the best of me - they’re tolerating me, that’s how it feels. You take your old self for granted."
The former footballer went on to explain that it is "really strange" to hear his new way of speaking and has found it "really hard" to accept the diagnosis.
He added: "It feels like someone has taken over my voice box. The voice that used to come out would come out at 300 miles an hour on 'Soccer Saturday', motormouth, talking and not even waiting for a breath, just keep going and going.
"Now when I hear myself or see myself on TV it’s someone else. It’s really strange. Some days the message from the brain to the mouth is really slow and makes it difficult, or some days the words come out different than what you’re trying to say - and that’s even weirder."
