Thank you for your incredible response. July 3rd was the aphasia, started that day perfectly fine (was always fine with my speech before, I was an English teacher for several years even), by afternoon I had some stuttering and then complete aphasia within 3 hours but I could write and text. Obviously they thought that it was a stroke but everything was clear. I had slightly elevated WBCs and some lower potassium and calcium levels but nothing else significant. They did give me a 'migraine cocktail' consisting of benadryl and a tranquilizer. It cleared the aphasia but... stuttering appeared two days later and has persisted. I already had speech therapy and a neuro on tap for some memory issues and some word finding issues due to long covid from 2020. I let the neuro know ASAP after the incident and he said that he couldn't get me in until the end of September, but with a slight tremor starting now I am going to see if I can get on a wait list/cancellation. All he said was "well you already have speech therapy set up..." Well yeah but I do think I may need an EEG and other tests as the sudden onset is concerning. I wish I could speak with my family members but most have passed including my parents and grandparents. However I grew up with my cousins and I don't recall anyone have stuttering and definitely not as an adult. I don't drink or take drugs, the meds I am on have been cleared to have caused the issue and I've been on them for several years. But, because the records are all through the same medical group all my records are on file for the doctor and hospital. I'm in a suburban area, about an hour from Denver. I am thinking I may need to 'shop' for a new neurologist, but gosh it's so hard to get into see a specialist so I was hoping for others that may have went through something like this for insight while waiting, definitely going to follow up with medical professionals- when I can. Sigh.
