    Hi all, this morning I have woken up with a stammer, I have never had a stammer before, and don’t know why I have a woke with it... but I am not able to speak as I once could. It is making me extremely upset! And help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for sharing this with us @iharris85, I'm so sorry to hear about how upset this has made you. Hopefully @NicolaLatheySLT will be able to offer some advice, but it may also be a good idea to contact your GP or another medical professional involved in your care too.

    @iharris85,
    I have a speech problem, a stammer and sometimes unable to speak clearly. This occurred after a traumatic time for me. Some days I’m ok others it’s very difficult to be understood due to my speech.

    Could your stammer be due to anxiety and stress?

    I still do not know after 3 years of this why this happened to me, try seeing your gp asap to see if they can determine why this has happened to you.

    I know how distressing it is so I really do sympathies

    I would contact the local NHS SLT service immediately and ask for advice from the stammering specialist.  There is more advice on the British Stammering association's website too.  Thanks Nicola
