This is something I only started thinking about recently, but does anyone else get headaches or have jaw problems because of severe stuttering? Like if I get really blocked, it's a struggle, and sometimes you get to the point where you're out of red faced and out of breath. For me I think this is a big reason why after a stressful day I get headaches. My jaw is also overworked, but I think the main reason was because my braces fucked me up. I've asked the dentist what to do about it and he said to relax my jaw as much as possible. :/ which means not eating hard foods, not chewing gum aaaaaand not stuttering. Not to mention the terrible effects stress has on your body, which stutters seem to be "blessed" with in spades. Everyone's stutter is different, I'm just wondering if anyone else's is having some annoying adverse affects like I seem to be having.
