Seriuosly-- Why is there no cure for stuttering???

People say there is no cure for stuttering..but

Why is there no cure???

There must be surgery to end stuttering-- and why hasnt anyone ever been able to find a cure for it...

It's so baffling--- there should have been a cure by now--

Stuttering has been going on for so many years--
and it baffles me why a cure has not been found...

Sometimes I feel that doctors are ignorant SOB's who really don't work hard enough to find a cure....

I am scouring the net every day for research and cures for stuttering- i am not giving up--

I AM NOT GOING TO DIE A STUTTERER...

STUTTERING IS THE MOST DEBILITATING-- AND YET THERE IS NO CURE-- IT MAKES NO SENSE

I know that some will say that cerebal pulsy is
more worse than stuttering, and maybe blindness is too... but

Stutterers are extremely smart, good looking,
and may be a very average person-- but if a
stutter cannot talk right-- we will be looked at as
stupid and inferior...

With a blind person or cerebral pulsy person, another is very understanding and aware, because
it's widely known---

Stuttering- I don't know why even anyone starts
to stutter in the first place....people are fluent
, people are dysfluent... what did the dysfluent person
do that the fluent person did not do???

So many questions. and so little answers..good
look everyone...in finding those answers!

Until Doctors and Therapists agree on what the specific cause is, there will be no cure.

I'm not sure if there can be a cure for it, or maybe there can but it seems more psychological. Like i read somewhere that when you are a kid and stutter its easy to get rid of it cause you are so young and your brain (well maybe better to say knowledge or something) isn't fully developed.

But when you get to your teens and adult years you most likely will always stutter, of course this isn't the case to everyone. That is also the problem, since I think its psychological many people have different reasons to stutter. I knew a person who use to talk and not care what anyone thinks but he still stutters, I think I stutter because I do care what people think and afraid to talk then. So it seems like anxiety or whatever its called is my problem but not his. But I have heard about people who found a cure for themselves and stop stuttering, so it is possible. So there might not be a clear cure for stuttering ever, we gotta find a cure for ourselves or maybe we never will and have to live this way. That really sucks...

I know exactly what you mean...

I've told people in the past that I'd rather be in a wheelchair than have a stammer. People look at me as if to say "are you mad?!" but to me it's like...

If you're in a wheelchair, you know that nothing is ever going to change about your condition, you accept it and deal with it and move on. Imagine being in a wheelchair somedays, but other days you can run freely, then suddenly your running stops, and you're back in that wheelchair again.
That's what it's like for me being a stammerer, somedays I speak quite fluently and enjoy talking to people, then suddenly I can go through a bad period where I feel like I can barely get a word out at all. The sheer mental torment of trying to understand why sometimes I can talk, and other times I can't, is terrible! :mad:

It is very emotionally draining and can drive a person crazy. I wouldn't compare it to being in a wheelchair though out of respect to those people because only they know how it feels. On a lighter note, there is research being done on a new drug, that has passed Phase I and II and is now in Phase III (the last step before approval by the FDA) for STUTTERING. Yes, there may be a light. See my other posts for details about the drug.

Not that I've done it but several people have told me I should try marijauna to become more relaxed and I might not stutter.

[pfisterer2005]

Please don´t think marijuana will solve your problem... I´ve tried it many times and even some other drugs (all with the purpose to cure my stutter) but it didn´t help at all. Only in some few moments, but not always. Sometimes it really got even worse... I quit these experiments and it was not worth! trust me!

Meditation and yoga should be better! Good books too!

Well, good luck anyway... We all need it!

I wouldn't recommend taking any drug in the hope that it will make you stammer less. Marijuana could make you more relaxed and chilled out, on the other hand it could make you paranoid, heart palpatations, sweats etc. Each person reacts differently to a drug. For me personally, Marijuana doesnt chill me out at all, it makes me quite paranoid, so I'd guess it does nothing for me stammer either :rolleyes:

I wouldnt recommend taking ANY drug - legal or illegal solely for the purpose of your stammer. I'd rather deal with my stammer as it is than frazzle my brain with various "miracle cure" drugs.
Imagine if the drugs did help your stammer, but made you a total zombie in the process, you'd totally lose your identity, who you are :confused: I'd rather keep stammering!

[Standingtall]

I agree with Boo. We are becoming too depended on drugs for everything. I think it is like everything else, it will work for some and won't for others. I have to take drugs to control my sugar, because my body has a problem.

[Gary1450]

You guys make good points however this latest drug (I hate that word - "drug") - pagaclone is supposed to lack a lot of the common side effects of other drugs like drowziness, sedation, zombie-like feelings.

I agree - there is no magic pill but I believe there are "pills" or will be pills, that will reduce a person's stuttering so they have a better quality of life.

[Standingtall]

Thanks. It is just the though of taking a pill, to make something go away or improve something. I still haven't lost any weight.

Look this might seem harsh and some will disagree but stuttering can not be cure because we are not born stutters, stuttering is not a disease or a disabilty but something we get as a result of something esle that happened it's a side effect. it can't be cured but it can be controlled.

If we can control it well enough with
the right device or tactics--then that's good
enough for me!!

[Standingtall]

I agree, when we are born, we are not programed with an language, so how can we be born with a stutter.

I don't know about the side effects.

I have better control of my stutter now, then when I was in my teens. At times, I'm pretty content, but why have a piece of the cake, when you can have the whole cake.
