Unexplained return of stutter/ post LP symptoms

Okay so, July of 2017, I tripped, smacking my head on my bathroom counter. I was unconscious for about half an hour and gained consciousness only to realize I had developed a stutter. I went to the ER, had a full work up and was kept for 3 days. All tests came back negative. There is no visible brain bleed, or swelling, no visible damage. Nothing. No answer to why I had a stutter. After 2 & 1/2 weeks my stutter went away. On 01/03/2018 I woke up with the worst headache of my life, and my stutter was back. I went to the ER two days later(01/05/2018) Again I got a full work up. After the CT came back negative they decided they wanted to do an LP to test for Meningitis and MS. Well...turns out they never ran any special tests to test for MS. I still have a stutter, only now(since the LP) I have radiating back pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Occasionally I’ll get a headache. So any ideas why I have a stutter or what the other symptoms might be from. Please help

Hello~Ouch, I am so sorry you took a mean bump to your head. I am glad that the doctors have not found anything wrong, but, I know you are concerned about the stuttering. I have a feeling that when you bumped your head, you could have done a number on your neck, causing many vertebrae to become misaligned and pressing on nerves, if this is the case, then stuttering could be one of the symptoms. I feel that seeing a chiropractor should be your next plan of action. Tell them what happened, he/she will take some x-rays of your neck, this will show any misalignment in that area. Then, they will give you an adjustment. Normally, after a few, folks start to feel better, this could very well stop the stuttering also and the migraines as well.

I hope you feel better soon. God bless you.
