Can anyone figure this out?

So I know I have this "word dis-association" thing where I get words mixed up, like Massachusetts and Michigan, but why is it that every single time I think and want to say, have to be careful now to not get it mixed up, lol... I say dolphin when I mean penguin - where does that ONE come from? **very puzzled**

any ideas anyone?

I believe it is your medications or interactions. Ask your psychiatrist and pharmacist.
I did experience this, can't remember the one that did it, but I'd think and man it just couldn't come out and it was something I knew everyday stuff.
Good luck,

LOL, funny you should mention that b/c Hubby thinks I'm full of it for it... I had meningitis and the whopping cough in my first month of life and flatlined a few times, apparently... I know what kind of damage meningitis can cause, but I'm not too familiar with the whopping cough... I think he doesn't take it seriously b/c I can be very smart when I apply myself (he says) yet I can say the stupidest things, too, lol... thought it was BP related but now I think it's a combo of the two..


thanks a lot for your input  :)

Is there a possibility  you may have had some type of stroke?  I say this because after my Mother had a stroke she said she would think of one thing and say something different...it eventually went away...just a thought.
