COG PROBLEMS AND STUDDERING
Hey Everyone,
Does anyone ever have studdering problems, on top of the cog and memory problems? My daughter watched my put sugar in my coffee 2x, and I still did not remember or realize I did it. Wonderful experiences like that? I've been also studdering, some days alot some days not so much, but it never completely goes away. I am not yet dx but, my sister had the studdering problem and she has recently be dx. Anyway, the floors yours!

I am dx and have the same problems, I also have friends and family that say - oh yes I know what you mean I get that too. What they can't see is how your brain is working - or not - in this case.
It was one of the sx my neuro took into account as it has become a real issue for me as I am a university lecturer. I told him to imagine he had walked in to talk to a patient and suddenly couldn't remember any specialist words. Well I get that with my subject specialism but also with simple words too.
My husband is the only one that notices - it is very frustrating and like you when I start stuttering I just have to stop.
Shops / airports / crowds have beaten me for a number of years on my bad days I just cannot even enter one as I am just too overwhelmed. My husband has got used to this and recognises when I need an arm to just get me out of there!
The MS Nurse is referring me to a neuro psychologist for testing, so we shall see.
Good luck - your not alone.

Hi there!
You are definitely not alone! I'm also in limboland and have a similar problem. I will be speaking and either trip over my words, misplacing the letters or completely have a shutdown to my thought. I will stand there like a goober with my mouth open, but cannot honestly remember the next words I need to say.
I also have problems with my speech slurring at times. My words begin to run together and sound funny. I always tell my husband that if I get pulled over and that's happening ... I'm really screwed (pardon the phrase) because I sound drunk, and I sure as heck won't pass the "walk a straight line" or "put your finger on your nose" tests!
As for forgetting what you are doing ... my daughter laughs because EVERY morning, I have to triple check my curling iron because I never remember turning it off. She always tells me the exact time and story of me doing it, but I just can't remember it. I'm like that with a lot of things, I even will say something two or three times and my family just stares at me ... hey you just said that. I don't remember the conversation or sentence at all.
It is crazy frustrating! Hang in there!
Take care!

yes, started a few years back. doesn't happen constantly. get hung up on words and i keep repeating it because i can't get past it. my mind wants to but my voice box seemingly can't.
mid-sentence, all of a sudden bam, can't find the word that needed to be there. when this happens my mind can't even "see" the word. because sometimes am asked a question or something and I can't get the word out of my mouth although my brain knows the word or as I like to say, "I can see it just can't get it out".
my friends patronize me and tell me they don't notice or they do the same or we are all just getting older. but to me i know it is different that just that.
last few days, i've had harder times navigating in stores, drive aimlessly around but i know where i'm going, just taking the really long way round. i was in kinko's today and the old sensation of losing my footing (fainting feeling and also right in the center of my spine is the weird feelings i can't even explain) came back to me. when this happens cog capacity decreases. tongue gets heavy and my nervous system gets tripped up. maybe the heat, beats me. had to take a pill to "balance" me out.
ditto, you are not alone, count me in on this one too

Hi there, I'm not yet Dx and do have studdering type of problems... I will repeat words and have to stop talking. Then try it again... slower.. I also forget what I'm talking about in mid sentence. I have diff time with concentration. Feel confused alot of the time.
this is not everyday, but I will have it for a few weeks, then ok for awhile. I find if I try to hard to get something out...it won't work. and I get frustrated.
Your not alone with this one..
take care
