I do not have an answer for you--maybe someone else will give you more information. There is a short piece from 1999 at: http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/related/parkinson.html on the topic of stuttering and Parkinson's disease. Stuttering is often listed as a potential symptom of Parkinson's disease, so I do not know what the connection might be between the treatment you had and the stuttering. There is some helpful information on the Stuttering Foundation of America website on neurogenic stuttering (stuttering caused by damage to the brain later in life) at: http://www.stutteringhelp.org/Default.aspx?tabid=81 With regard to your hoarse voice and sore throat, you may want to see an ear, nose and throat physician about this, as this problem is not necessarily connected to the stuttering. I wish you the best, Lynne
