Really intense migraines and stuttering I’ve stuttered since I was a child. The first time I got diagnosed with migraines was in 2023 and I got triptans as prescription medications to treat it. The triptans worked - they didn’t get rid of them completely but I could at least focus again. Now since I got infected with something 2 weeks ago my migraines are back. They are so painful. In speech: the migraines causing huge blocks and almost automatized repetitions. I feel like I’ve lost control of my mouth - more than usual. Mouth also feels kinda numb. I have an appointment with a rheumatologist next month but I’m wondering if any of you have had something similar. I can barely function like a human being at the moment due to this and a bunch of other symptoms.
