Question Cognitive Question

This week end I was making a note for places to find the Wii....since it's so hard to find, I made a list and phone numbers to call around town here. When I reviewed the list later to start making the calls, I found that I had written:

Frem dis for 'fred meyer', Everything else in the note was correctly spelled....

I catch myself doing this when I type sometimes.....thoughts? I showed it to my DH...When you can see what I'm talking about, its a cause for concern...just wondering if any of you have these kinds of issues.....thanks

Well I have been known for typing/writing odd things like this also from time to time but much more often is for the life of me I get can't remember how to spell something at all, even easy words like "have & come", it almost the same when I'm talking and a word I'm wanting say will not come out.

It happens pretty often for me J. For some reason, I usually can't write the letter w without really concentrating. It wants to come out as something else entirely.

I think I will do the neuropsyc test. Seems that should cover the whole enchilada and pin point everything. Thanks

I get that sometimes (not often). It happens both when I speak and type. Nothing like the confused stare of a 2 year old. When I realize I was speaking jibberish, I usually just say "Well it's not like I understand what you say either, so we're even."

there are days that I simply cannot type what I am thinking. I am a great typist, and can do so in the dark, never have to look at the keys and can go pretty fast. I have those MS days that I cannot make it work! I have learned to slow down and just not be in a hurry.

So I gather that this is a sx of MS... but what other things can cause this, anyone know? I'm willing to accept it could be from depression....but I really do feel good most the time....just scared about the future sometimes, and who isn't? Not sure how depression could cause me to mis-spell things like this.

Thanks for your responses to this point

Just started my physical therepy for my back this morning. We are going to work on my stomach muscles and I really like my Therapist...very nice, alert, and informative. Also, I voluntarily stopped my zanaflex and vicodin last Monday. I still have plenty, I just hate feeling crummy all the time from them and want to get it out of my system. Knowing they are there if I need them is good enough for me

Gotta study! See ya all later....

I feel for you and I know what you're going through. You should see my notes . Work on not worrying too much about it. At least you know what you meant, right? Tell any one else that it's your new short hand and to learn it or go away.

All kidding aside (I really think you have to keep a sense of humor about all this mess) work on focusing on the happies. (((((Hugs)))))
