Mbolin,

MsRio has not been around in quite some time. It took a while but she did improve.

One of the common problems with stuttering after a concussion is the more we stress out about the symptoms, the worse that symptom becomes. The brain gets overloaded with stress chemicals and goes haywire.

Many of us have learned relaxation skills to help our body and mind settle down so we can perform a little better. For me, it usually starts with taking a slow deep breath. Then, I rehearse what i want to say in mind. It helps but does not always solve the problem. It may just take time to heal.

My best to you.
