is this a symptom

[Derrin]

I often times have a very hard time while talking. I know the word i need to use but cannot bring it to memory. Most people say its just getting older but to me it seems to be much to often. I am only 38. do others have this problem as well?

The same thing happens to me...

It's as though I am thinking of words, I know what I am thinking...  yet some how I just can't grasp them enough to say what I am thinking.  Sometimes I just can say it, or it just doesn't come out right.  And sometime I loose what I was attemping to say all together....   very frustrating!!!

I use to think it was med related, but now I have been on the same meds for a very long time.  Somedays I don't have this problem at all and somedays it is a very, very big problem as though I even fill like I am in a fog.

Still trying to figure it all out;  Sonflower

I do this all the time, but am way older than you. margy makes sense, ask the doc and see what they say, then let us know what they say, ok?

Could be Med related a few years ago I was taking some Meds and noticed the same thing you describe, one day I couldnt remember the neighbours dogs name, a dog I had known for years, it was a wake up call, I eased off the meds and lo and behold my memory returned , I started to take supplements instead with no side effects..So check out what you are taking if anything ,if you are not on Meds maybe you are deficient in vitamins and anti oxidants, so start taking a Multiple one Vit B Complex ,Vit C and fish oil.
