Hi Mango,

I had a similar situation that lasted over a year. I woke up one morning in 2008 with my teeth chattering and when I tried to talk I stuttered. I immediately contacted my neurologist and he wasn't sure what was causing it. The stuttering became so bad that there were times when no one could understand what I was saying.

In September 2009, I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted in my lower back to relieve some of the pain I was suffering with. Three weeks later, I woke up one morning and no longer stuttered! One theory was that the nerve pain I was suffering from CRPS was so intense that my brain had no other way to get rid of the pain. Every now and then I will stutter a little if I am tired, nervous or talking too fast but it is nothing like it was for over a year.

Please let me know what your doctor thinks about why this happened to you.
