I was wondering if anyone here, preferbly a doctor knew anything about stuttering. Ive been stuttering since i was little. It's better now then when i was younger. I only stutter sometimes, but when i do stutter it's those important times where i need not to stutter. I don't stutter when i read or anything like that, it's only speaking.Usually when i'm trying to explain something. My parents put me in speech classes in elementry school and junior high to help with it.The problem is i wouldnt stutter when i was in the class, but i would stutter outside of the class. My question is, is there anything that a doctor can do to help with it. I want to be a nurse and my parents said that this can affect from being one beause i'll have to relay messages to doctors really fast and get to the point, and i can't do that with my stuttering. I heard of this little divice that was invented that you can put in your ear to help stop stuttering. Is this true? I need advice!!

Don't worry, you can become a nurse, but you might want to stay away from certain specialties such as emergency room nurse.
Think about when you're most likely to stutter a lot... probably when you're nervous. In those situations, take a deep breath (or two, or three) and realize that most people won't judge you at all over it... kids in school will bully other kids over things like stuttering and a million other things, but almost all adults are a lot more understanding.
Good luck. :)

You need to learn to apply what you learn in speech therapy in everyday situations. If you do this, you can do any vocation you choose. Get either a referral to a speech therapist who specializes in stuttering from The Stuttering Foundation or their book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" and work diligently through the steps. Several of my uncles and cousins overcame their stuttering and you can, too.
