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!

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.

I was about to reply to this thread with "There is no cure because there is no money in a cure" but research on a drug makes my statement wrong.

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.
