MD, Thanks for the additional information. I assume the neurologist did not find anything that would suggest a neurological insult to cause the headaches, although you did not elaborate on that. You also did not comment on whether or not the headaches are still occurring. All of that information would be important to speculate very much about the nature, cause, or prognosis of your stuttering. Since this conference is signing off today, I suggest you go for a second opinion about your stuttering, preferably from someone who is a specialist in stuttering and could, with the report from your neurologist, consider all of the following causes: neurogenic, psychogenic, or idiopathic (i.e., no known cause). Managing the problem may well need to be in consultation with other appropriate specialists. Again, I realize this is not a clear answer, but you have suggested clues that might lead to several different diagnoses and management plans. Ken
