Yep, of course! Recently, as in the last two weeks, I was diagnosed officially with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and PNES (psychogenic non-epileptic seizures or functional seizures). Apparently, I was having seizures for a few months without realising it until they sort of ramped up and became obvious and they're the cause of my stutter. You're more than welcome to browse through my comment/post history: maybe something I've experienced will resonate with you and be of some comfort or give you some direction for yourself? My stutter hasn't changed much since my seizures are more active now, other than it's really really really bad afterwards. I still have good and bad days, talking on the phone sucks, still stutter even when talking to myself etc.
