I'm fully aware of it happening (has happened). The way I get going again is to sort of force relax with a deep breath (usu. followed by a statement of extreme displeasure over what just happened!! lol). Then it takes about 30 seconds or so to 'reset' my thought and try it again.
Very bizarre.....your thoughts?

When some of the other MGers first started talking about this, let me tell you that I FREAKED!! I am known as the "brain" in my family -- not that I am that smart -- that is just my "role". (I'd rather be the "pretty one", but my sister has that cornered -- LOL.) I was losing my physical strength, my ability to talk, I had already lost my ability to work -- now I was going to lose my ability to THINK?!?!?!? Well, so far, mine ONLY seems related to words and names. I do "lose" them -- especially when I am tired or need another Mesty. But, I have NOT (knock wood) noticed any lag in my math or logic skills. So, I feel OK about the situation. It is INCONVENIENT -- and perturbing -- but, certainly something that is not all that uncommon with "normal" people. When I was still working, people who were NOT ill were constantly coming to me asking for names or using me as a living thesarus.
