[CLKD]

Talking to DH recently it would appear that I don't make a lot of sense sometimes  .  My brain knows what I mean but I don't get the words out so there's a lot of 'eh?', ignoring me, 'what did you say?' …… I am having problems finding words so have to pause; I do try to fill in the gaps which is OK between each other.  I take his arm and say 'I need to pause' until I find the correct word.  I can feel the cogs working    ……… I note on here that I miss out words when typing ….. don't notice at the time but re-reading responses  ………

So am apologising

Not just you CLKD. What I type often isn't what's in my head. I have to double check my posts. 

[Dyan]

I think it happens to us all CLKD

I am the queen of the thingy and the whatsit.......so you are not alone. My brain knows what I mean but my mouth refuses to co operate.

  ……….. it makes sense in my head though  … then gets lost between there and my gob ……

I also forget shopping lists, I stand in stores wondering why I've ventured in.  I go upstairs and can't remember.  I never forget to run my bath though ;-).

If I write something down its committed to memory. Ive always been the same.
It's how I studied for exams many moons ago.
I sit and write out a shopping list and I don't need to take it with me.


From my brain to my mouth is a different story. It doesn't help when hubby gets impatient....as he has been told on many occasions......my mouth works then

I can no longer remember what I've written on the list   

[honeybun]

I've always been the same. Commit it to paper and I remember.....however....I can turn off the heating or lock a door and five minutes later I can't remember and I'm back checking.
Maybe I need to write it down 

The brain to mouth link is not great either. Usually worse when I'm tired.

at work i read a list of train stations out, i can pause looking at a word and think how the heck do i say that. Darlington was the last ne!! Ive mentioned it to the works doctorduring a medical, thought i was getting dimentia, he assures me lack of concentration isnormal?!?!

[LizeeeH]

ha ha yup that's me! That old saying the "lights on but nobodies
 home"

[SadLynda]

I tend to speed read everything anyway, so would never notice an odd word missed out.  DH is far worse than me at forgetting words, and most things at the moment and I am not the greatest.  eg.  I need 3 things from the health shop in a mo, they are all written on the back of my hand.

I have problems putting points over …… and often can't remember the names of places we've been to yesterday 

[CLKD]

Earlier this evening I sat looking at the keyboard - the password had completely gone from my head for a whole 25 mins.  .  I've really lost it …….. usually I can type it in automatically.
