Have any of y’all seen a neurologist? Hi folks, lifelong (23F) stutterer here. I’m seeing a neurologist for the first time in about a month for a different issue, but my new PCP (I moved across the country) asked about my stutter and if I’d ever seen a neurologist. I didn’t think I had, but asked my mom (a speech pathologist lol) anyways bc maybe I’d gone when I was a kid and just didn’t remember it. But nope, she said I hadn’t, and then we talked about it for a little while and she said it never came up at any of my doctor’s appointments as a kid and kinda feels bad that she never took me to see one. I’m just curious as to what your experiences have been either seeing or not seeing a neurologist?
