Hellol Ray;
This is a common unfortunate symptom.. It is like stumbling over your own tongue.
Like a teenager who is trying to speak to someone of the opposite sex, or like Daffy Duck or Porkey pig.
I sometimes take a pause, and sutter out my word  (at other times I do not remember).  this drives my kids crazy.   I just live with it and sometimes write things down.

This comes and goes,depending wher the lessions are twinkling.

I hope this helps.

Hi Ray

Ditto .     I also have trouble remembering all sorts of things , saying things out of context and just odd things like Deb.

I would really like to take some classes or join a group but in the last class it happened,  the out of context kind . Thankfully it was an art class and since I do know my way around a studio , maybe they thought of me as just eccentric/ a character , but boy was I embarrassed.

M. I feel for you and all the others who have to deal with this in the work place .

Yes, I sure do have difficulty finding my words now. Not ggod in my line of work - I talk all day (usually darn good at talking, lol!)

It is truly annoying and sometimes embarassing

Hi, Lady!  Sorry to rob you of your Girlie Goodies.  It was late at night and I just assumed you were male.

Word recall problems??  BIG-TIME!!!!  I would venture to guess that it is the most common of the Cog Fog (cognitive difficulties) people complain of here.  I even amde my neuro laugh (he isn't the jovial type) when I commented that , "It is hard to watch yourself become 'verbally stupid.'"  I always prided myself on having a wide vocabulary, but, not only to I fail to find the right word, sometimes the most bizarre substitute comes out instead.  Like saying "box" when I mean "hat."

It happens ALL THE TIME!!!  And I get so embarrassed. Sometimes I throw the wrong word out, or mispronounce it (my tongue gets lazy or my jaw will lock up half way through the word). For the most part I brush it off....but it gets old.
