Default Stuttering/Stammering

Has anyone ever started stuttering or stammering because of their RSD? To be clear, I mean you did not stutter/ stammer before, your medical team has ruled out other medical causes for your stuttering/ stammering, and your medical team has said to you the reason for your stuttering/ stammering is your RSD. Thanks!
Be well,
Jen

Rsd definitely can cause some crazy side effects! Stress itself can cause stuttering though.

hmm lets see.. meds i would say cld be a cause.. but RSD and chronic pain can cause spas moments i call them but it affects our memory our focus. now I stuttered as a kid and am dyslexic as well both of these take discipline to maintain even though its been years. but my vocabulary , math and science skills have always been easy to me. now my stutter comes back when i cannot think of the words I need or when flare and stress peek. and my math and logic skills keep me questioning myself. I thing it is the RSD and chronic pain messing around with our computer we call brain i mean hello it is neurological and all these signals go through our brain so it is logical that our signals are creating too many signals and are over loading our brain. think of it how often do you get confused NOW as apposed to before.

I've gone through a lot of change. I used to be heavily left hemisphere and extremnely math oriented. My verbal skills were OK but I had great difficulty in understanding others and some difficulty articulating some concepts. My ability to see connections was simply astounding though.

I'm much different now. It feels like the RSD has affected my amygdala, brain stem and the ganglia/ nervous system of my arm. Some of the changes are the result of medication such as the lessened ability to make connections is the neurontin. The ability to obsess/ focus on some small thing is decreased by depakote (possibly). But now I'm far more verbal and far more hemispherically balanced. My math ability is mostly gone but I still retain some physical modeling in another part of the brain and simple math is still within my grasp. My doctors think I'm nuts, of course, but I'd wager this stuff would show up on quantitative testing were it available and on record. The brain/ body connection is total. Our body parts have their own consciousnesses of which we aren't aware and I'd have happily never known this if not for the RSD.

I guess I should have mentioned that I never stammered or stuttered when I used tospeak but now I often have a sort of catch or stutter when searching words. My sentence structure tends to be more complicated now though.

the more medications I have to take the more I stutter and stammer. I have been fortunate enough to come off of some and it has made the world of difference.

Dear Jenknits....

I certainly understand what you are trying to say and yes... I have been having more and more difficulty speaking my words and shuttering thru my sentences... Sometimes it's a mumble jumble of words.. It's surely RSD, as I am medication free RSD... I have had the forgetfulness too...it all goes along for the ride...

I'm so sorry you are experiencing this also...

Gentle hugs, Kathy

Thanks Kathy for your support! Since I posted this, I actually have developed spasmodic dysphonia -- spasms of the vocal cords that make it hard for me to talk. It's a form for dystonia, which is common in RSD. It's hard to hear me speak; my voice sounds like a broken, hoarse, whisper. It's hard to describe. It amazes me what a broken ankle can do/ become. Again, thanks. Hope you are having a good day!
Be well,
Jen
