30yo M. Sudden onset severe stutter following seizure 2 days ago. Help plz. I don't even know where to start. Title says most of what I want to say. It's the most frustrating bullshit ever. I'm used to chatting 90mph all day start to finish. All of a sudden every word is torture. I am told that the issue is a signalling problem and I'm likely to be able to recover with time and speech therapy. I have no idea on timescale though. I know a lot of you will have been dealing with this your whole lives and I'm somewhat of a lucky one. I just want some advice, anything. Someone to tell me it gets easier.
