Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

I noticed that I am frequently using the wrong words when speaking. For instance, saying mother instead of father, or using a word that starts with the same letter, like belt instead of bean. Does anyone else have this? I don't know if this is menopause or if I should worry about alzheimers.

I do....I get all tongue twisted... I have to stop and start my sentence over..

And I wonder the same thing...some kind of brain issue?....I've always been very quick and sharp with my words and speaking and everything in general (memory, work, thoughts, etc) so i definitely notice it.

Me too. I do this quite often. I also noticed I am not as good at spelling as what I used to be. I too am wondering if it is part of menopause or something else.

Yes!!This happens to me as well

Happens to me too....my daughter calmed me down during one of my fear sessions by saying she doubts that I would even notice my own flubs if it were beginning of Alzheimer's.
Maybe we're worrying too much over it??

Last night I wanted to say "I wish I felt" but I said "I fish"...lol...

Me do, sometimes my speech is not clear on what I want to say, or sometimes I just don't find the right word. I think this is part of menopause. Crazy time to go thru, hope it does not last forever. Peace and Love ladies.

I get like that some times

Me too! So it this a hormone/menopause thing? I am also ADD but I have noticing this behavior since starting menopause, thanks.

Geez, I have that too. I was worried about Alzheimer's disease too. maybe it is just going through menopause. Ugh!

denymckusker 10/09/2015

I do this too. Mostly in the late afternoon/evening when I start geting tired. I call it Babbling. Words come out but my speech is fragmented and the words just don't connect. When I feel like this I just don't talk. I rarely answer the phone and my husband protests me from people. I am pretty sure this is Meno. related.

I do it too sometimes. It gives my high school students that I teach a good laugh when I totally throw them off with what I said. I also draw a blank on names sometimes, which I never did before good ole menopause. And I forget what I said to people sometimes, so I repeat stuff...that doesn't happen a lot, but it happens.

I can see a face but can't remember a name. Or I will have problems saying what I want to say..like the words don't come. I am scared that is alzheimer's....

plumgirl 11/05/2015

just for fun we should start sharing any funny word exchange we have. YES I DO THIS!

sabinestrohem 11/09/2015

I do public speaking as part of my job. So far... the wrong words haven't come out then. But with hubs and friends it happens all the time.

I've heard if you worry about Alzheimer's, you probably don't have it. Like one post, if you did have it, you would not notice what is going on.
