What about singing? Reciting from wrote? I'm wondering if the stuttering may be unrelated—just coincidental.

What I meant by exploring organic reasons is being checked out by your doctor/s. I think there may be a couple of different things going on—the speech impediments, and the cortisol issue.

I'm not sure if the speech issue would be addressed by a dentist, otolaryngologist (ENT), or something else—or a combination. The cortisol questions would probably best be addressed by an endocrinologist. Have you talked to your PCP about any of this, and if so, what's his/her opinion? Have you been tested for/dxed with Cushing's Syndrome?
