typing dyslexia and spelling problems

Ok, I have always been very good at spelling and typing, but lately I have had some serious issues with getting one line typed without having to backspace and correct. I switch almost every word around and have to go back and correct like crazy. I sometimes will type" becuase "instead of because, or" beleive" instead of believe,, I have even typed" pma", instead of Pam,, that's my own name I am screwing up!!

Anyone else with this problem?? Can people actually have typing dyslexia? Sometimes I am reading the newspaper and have to re-read something because I have switched the word to a different word that makes no sense and when I see it again, I'm like, WOW, why did I think it said sometiing else?
I feel like a dummy sometimes after I re-read all of my mistakes, lol

Pam,

I think it's due to brain inflammation, and the stress of being ill on top of it.

Sometimes I type stuff and then go back to read it and I swear it's not what I typed OR what I read when I checked it before sending the email.

The good news is that the better you get, the more of your normal brain function will return.

Mine is from typing too fast now, but before I was like you.

I can't wait to have normal brain function back!! I am so extremely frustrated today.. everyone is sick and of course kids still fight even when they are sick and I just had a moment of rage.. I yelled so loud, now my throat hurts! Ughh,, my kids know that's not me, so they quietly went into their rooms and gave me some time to get my act back together..

I feel bad when I yell at them, but I hate when they put their hands on eachother, I never put my hands on my kids, so when I yell, they know I mean business.. It's nice and quiet in the house now and just waiting for my mom to pick us up to get to the doc's for their appts.

I hope this gets better.. I am just afraid of the "getting worse" phase.

Thanks for listening,
Pam

I tend to be much worse with mistakes in my writing in which I change tense inappropriately, and with mistaking homonyms, or substituting words that sound close to the word I intend, regardless of how far of the meaning may be.

I have no "proof" that my illness is to blame for this, but it is what I believe in my gut.  I think part of it is likely the extreme fatigue I experience.  I try to leave my most technical work for days (or portions of days) when I feel relatively alert, but am not always able to accommodate my symptoms in this way.  It can be very embarrassing.

I would not be above giving a slight shrug and a chuckle, while saying, "Oops!  Glad you caught that!  I have a touch of dyslexia --"  then smile and move on.  

Dyslexia is socially acceptable in a way that Lyme surely ain't.

The post I just wrote to Bny, took me forever because of the mistakes. Also, I repeat myself without even knowing it and then when I am re -reading I'm like,, OMG, here I go again. A 1 liner answer turns into a book! :) LOL
I probably should just go to bed and sleep it all off, :)

Your so right Jackie about the dyslexia being socially acceptable and Lyme isn't, what is up with that?? lol

Have a great night!
