Mine is constantly varying. Sometimes I stutter only three times in a 9 hour shift, sometimes I can barely choke out words and do my best not to talk. The past week or two I’ve had little to no speech fluency. It’s been hell at work as a receptionist. But I persevere. Mine gets worst depending on various outside influences, such as drinking or drug use, fighting with people I care about....it is alleviated temporarily when I have had a good long cry or drink a sufficient amount of water and get good sleep. I’ve been analyzing the things that affect my fluency for so long that I would think I’d have stopped drinking by now, but hey, having a little fun is worth not being able to s-s-s-s-say my name on ph-phonecalls at work sometimes
