I have lately been noticing some disturbing trends when I am keyboarding. I do spend a lot of time writing on the computer, and lately it seems i am having to correct more and more of my mis-typing. I am not talking about misspelling or missing an occasional key. What I am experiencing is scary, as i have never had this occur before.

I am transposing letters, and even scrambling whole words at an increasing rate. It is almost as if my brain thinks I have already typed the first letter of a word when I haven't yet, or like my brain has queued up letters and lets me type them out of order. I am not dyslexic, unless that can be developed over time.

Another thing I see happening is adding in more letters to a word than it contains. I am not talking about double-hitting a letter now and then, but actually adding letters that do not belong. And conversely, I find myself leaving out letters too. I have to proof-read everything I type, even short responses to friends on FaceBook, or I would look like an idiot.

I have always been an excellent speller, and I have a strong grasp of using the correct word in the case of homonyms (their, there, they're) but lately I have found myself using them improperly too. Is this from reading too many things online where others do it, or is it from the same cause as my other issues? I don't know. For example, I never miss the second "o" in too, until recently. In fact, I am one of those people who could read with a red pen in my hand, because I see every mistake made by others. Except now I am making my own . . .

So I am wondering of this si a new symptoms of cognnitive sissues, of if I am just being tooo senstivie about my typing. I know I am experiencing troubles with word and name finding more every day, and also see myself struggling with manual dexterity . . . but the messiness of my typing is getting aggravating. it takes me forever rto go back and correct all my errors all the time. Even when I slow down my tuyping speed (and I am not speedy by any means) this problems till exists. Has anyone else ever expeirenced this or know of whether it is part of the cognitive interruption of MS?
