Could Thyroid Disorder Be Related To Stuttering?
iam 20 years old, i started stuttering when i was 8 years old after the war in Iraq, i was really scared and my mom said that my hands became really hard and i couldn t move it, and my skin turned blue for less than a minute. Lately i went to a doctor and he wanted some blood test for TSH and free T4 , my question is, does thyroid has something to do with my stuttering?
