YES! and I'm told that it happens to everyone, especially women at a certain age... (I'm 47) but it's NOT that and I hate it! It's like when your computer goes on the blink suddenly and all is lost. It is LOST, I mean! I start the sentence, and before it's out, I forget not only what I was going to say but what the senttence was about!! ugh humiliating and frustrating

Every freakin day I have that problem...and it so sucks especially at work. We have a new director in our company and the first couple of weeks I worked with him I thought I had completely lost my mind, or had Alzheimer or early dementia. I asked one of our other team members if she had trouble understanding what he was asking of us and she said she did to.. turns out so did the other 5 members of our team. Thank God...I thought I was really losing my mind.. but yes I have trouble remembering words and finishing sentences and sometimes comprehending what others are trying to relate...I sooooo understand...

Yep, it's a problem. Try to lower your stress levels.

Yep! I also go blank. I'm a teacher so I try hard to not let on. With my friends it's known as a brain fart. Usually my best friend can finish my sentences for me.

What was the question? ;)

LOL sussetzzs. I'm having cognitive problems now but they come and go for me. The healthy life style and detoxing does wonders for me. But I am in a terrible flare and don't know if I'll come out of this one.

oooo love the red shoes JulieAnne! I have cognitive deficits that come and go, too. My neuro had me tested and my 'marks' were very high, so that the recommendation was for psych counseling. sigh I have good days and bad days. AND my neuro psych scores are in the high range already. Kinda bugged me that what I experience, and feel, aren't measurable and so are discounted.

Things is so irratating. Its real bad lately. I will have this whole long conversation going on in my head and the wind will blow and i go blank. Or ill take 15 mins to say 15 words. Its real hard when someone asks how my day went, and i want to tell them but cant explain it right.

Im right there with you.........ummmm what was it that I was about to say???!!!

all the time not only say words weird but out of order same with typing i have just decide to be a recluse! won't have to worry! & memory is horrible can't remember if i made that point yet or if i talk this same subject w/any one person! i always start out w/can't remember if i talk to you about this! or did i tell you about! i have some people ask me if i had been drinkin or smokin =i don't do eoither or abuse pain meds! They always blame it on that & i say know its the illness stupid! grrrrrr

ps did i say i have a hard time remembering lol spelling like stupid words ahhh "THE" i kept a dictionary in my hands/purse really!

Owwwwwwwwwwwww yesssssssssssss & I get ticked a lot when people try to put the words in my mouth, because rarely is it what I am trying to say, so then I have to say no and the damn word is further away GRRRRRRRR .......... and just as bad is putting the wrong word/s into the covo GRrrrrrrr

yes i have so bad that i almost quit talking when we have company. i let my husband do most of the talking and he dont understand why im doing this. but when words dont alway come out right you may say something that will hurt someone and i would never do that.
lita

Oh yes.....feels like my brain keeps changing the channel on me....so frustrating!!!!

HUGS from down south :)

Most definitely! I always wonder if strangers think I'm a complete moron! I'll be calling an office/business for whatever reason and I'll pause mid-sentence and say,"Help me out here...." Like they're really going to be able to tell me what I'm trying to say!

What's also bad is when I'm arguing with my husband and I've got an excellent point to make, then it's gone just as fast as it came! And I'm like "Damn! I had a good one!" LOL

I'm always a very silly and sarcastic person who usually has quick comebacks when people say smart things to me (jokingly), and there are many days where I'll just stare for a few seconds and say........"I got nuthin'" :o(
