Only on my mostly fluent days (very rare) do I enjoy talking. All the other days I'm a mute because it's exhausting....

I feel the same way as you I don't like to talk because it just takes a lot out of me mentally. ...

Funny thing to connect. I have stomach problems sometimes, but I assume they are from my actions. Caffeine on an empty stomach kills me and lack of sleep often gives me a stomach ache....

Weird, I also have stomach issues. My doctor calls is a weak abdominal wall, so some times the stomach "leek" out into the upper body, which cause some acid in the eating tube....

I notice that when I stutter it's when my stomach muscles (abdominal wall muscles) contract with my speech. I'd lived my whole life not noticing this. I noticed that my fluent days are when I don't u...

Let's not forget that the gut is the second brain, which is where many neurotransmitters are created, vitamins/minerals are absorbed from food, etc. So in my opinion gut problems can most certainly l...

Chronic stomach problems. The valves that control my stomach acid do not work properly. My stomach muscles also turn the wrong way which really only complicates things even more. I control it through ...

What kind of stomach problems? Like, way inside your intestines? If so, you should go see a doctor for that. I have IBS, but it's not related to me stuttering....

Stuttering and Stomach Problems....

Stuttering and Stomach Problems.... I am curious how many of you who stutter basically struggle with constant stomach problems or trouble? Not to divulge, but I have....after one of the more recent po...

I go for a run outside. Best way to reset is to get a good sweat and come home tired....

How do you blow off some steam on a non-fluent day?

How do you blow off some steam on a non-fluent day? I guess we all have those exhausting days every now and then when you're at your worst, have way more blocks than usual and you feel beyond frustrat...

Although I smoke, I usually do so alone in my house; I don't much like being stoned in public and around people a lot, although on the times I have done I have noticed an improvement in my speech. I h...

The only pattern I've noticed with myself is that if 1) sleep well 2) eat well 3) am not very anxious or stressed - I have better days. As a woman, hormones throw me off. I am shakier and less fluent ...

Cured at 36

Cured at 36 After stuttering for...well...as long as I can remember, I'm cured. I've read so many books on it, tried countless tips, tried breathing tips, easy onset, all it. They helped to mask the p...

Yeah, strange, huh? How opposite it can be. My friend, though, I don't actually think he gets more anxious, just like so tired he can't speak? I don't know, both ways make sense to me. ...

Different for me The more tired i am the less i care about my stutter, thus stuttering less and overall less anxious about things. I have been awake for 48+ hours few times ( driving around with fri...

Makes sense, thanks for the info. The human body certainly has a way of communicating what it needs to you in certain ways. ...

You're experience is common, but honestly it's not something I personally have. One of my ways that helps me is when I read out loud to myself for 10 minutes or so, and I've always stuttered when I do...

Breathing problems

Breathing problems I'll give a little bit of background information first; I had an extreme stutter and several other disfluencies but breathing was not always much of a problem, now that my stutterin...

Agreed, less sleep makes it worse. A researcher in Brazil determined lack of sleep is related to more stuttering. But lack of sleep affects all cognitive functions anyway so its understandable. ...
