I had some speech therapy I was young and it was very helpful. In my experience it was invaluable in turning a severe stutter into a moderate one. After that, in my situation, I'm not sure on its value but everyone is diffrerent

- Hi Richard, how are you tonight? I don't know what time it is over in the UK.....This site is so dead,it's unbelievable,I don't think I'm going to be here much longer.Everytime I log on to maybe chat or something, there is never anyone here.No, I'm not on facebook or anything like that. I used to be,but I didn't like it much.No, I never use MSN messenger or anything. Would you like my email address? It might be the easiest way to communicate,so we can talk "stuttering" and maybe help each other.Have a great day/night. Dinah

- Hi Richard,nice to hear from you. I have one of those devices, it doesn't work, I tried it for awhile,but it did nothing to help my stuttering.I know exactly what you mean when you say your stutter improved with your self-confidence,mine has gotten better,sometimes I still have,not really long blocks, but blocks,although they are not as bad as they used to be.I talk more than I used to, I don't even dread answering the phone like I used to.I like talking about my stutter to educate people about it. I like to let them know that stutterers don't have some sort of brain disfunction and we are not mentally challenged,I've run into that before.Have you? I guess we all have.Well, that felt good,you have a nice day Richard,what time do you usually check your email, maybe we can chat sometime? Just let me know.

- Hello Richard, nice to meet you. I see you and I are friends now.I saw your blog post,saying that speech therapy turned your severe stutter into moderate one. That's great! Have you heard of that Speech Easy Device? The one that goes in your ear? I was just wondering if you've ever had a chance to try something like that.If so, did it work, how did you like it?Have a nice day. Bye.

- Is it me or is it really quiet on this site? When I first joined I thought I'd have all kinds of people to communicate with about stuttering,no such luck.I'm a little dissapointed. I believe I will add you as a friend, you don't have to accept if you don't want to but I'll do it anyway....get the ball rolling.
