It's been 3 month after I found out I have a "vocal bowing" apparently it is the causes of my stuttering, I would always runs out of breath. There was a gap in my vocal cords, causing air to leaked out.

I had it surgerically fixed, my parents paid about $4,000 but it was worth it. I'm still in the recovering state, but my stutter has been reduced...more air are kept in rather then leaked out.

this is very interesting... how would you describe your stutter before, more repetitions or more blocks? i also run out of breath rather frequently but i put it down to not practicing any sports at all lol

so a hole, you say... hm. I've always thought there's maybe a loose piece of skin back there or something like that. makes sense. how much would you say your stutter has been reduced so far? %?

Speech is the most extreme sport.

35%...
I'm not completly recovered, from my surgery however I still stutter. But it has reduced, my stuttering was getting worst and worst, and now it has halted.
I might go on meds to see if it will help me increase fluency.

Did it lower your dopamine level? I need to find someone that will remove a few dopamine from my brain.

Hm, i've always wondered about surgery. I know that the most common cause for stuttering is a locking of the vocal chords, which causes blocking. But i don't really run out of breath, i just lock up. Do you know what kind of medication you'll be trying?
