Default Stuttering
My stutter goes completely away at times. At other times it is VERY pronounced when any of these occur
  • I have not slept well
  • I have had severe head pain
  • I have high emotional response to something

    Or

  • My brain is maxed out by cognition

Neuro psych says this is VERY odd. He says with speech issues due to injury it is usually always or never. No in between. He says it's very puzzling.

My question: does this on/off stutter happen to anyone else?

I keep thinking I can control it if I just tried harder and yet I fail every time.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.

NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.

About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
