Is stuttering a manifestation of TMS?

Is stuttering a type of TMS? I wrote an article on this issue for my stuttering website, and it can be read here: http://stuttersense.blogspot.co.za/2016/07/is-stuttering-manifestation-of-tms.html (StutterSense: Is stuttering a manifestation of TMS?)

 

Yep, pretty sure someone asked this before and Dr. Schubiner confirmed this.

 

I had spasmodic dysphonia as a teenager, It literally went away over night. This was many years before I became aware of Dr. Sarnos work. It was my first TMS manifestation. I am not sure if stuttering is TMS.

 

The reason I am not sure that stuttering is TMS is because I am not aware of anyone ever being cured of it. My college roommate had it. He modified his speech pattern to deal with it. For example when he answers the phone he says Yes Hello instead of Hello.

 

wow! As someone who studied to become a speech-language pathologist, this is amazing news to me.

 

I saw spasmodic dysphonia written about in The Mind Body Prescription. That is when I first realized I was a person with TMS. That book was amazing to me I went on to read the fourth book. I have spent countless hours on the internet reading about TMS . I have had various chronic pain over the years . No surgery however. No stuttering.

 

Makes perfect sense, the tongue is controlled by muscles.
