Speech problems.

I have this word jumble as well. It's probably part of the brain fog associated with perimenopause. Thought i was losing my mind. Also forget names i should know and forget things I should be doing. I am 50 and this has been on and off for a couple of years. I hope I return to normal,whatever that is!!

I thank God for this site, as i was beginning to go out of my mind thinking there's something wrong with me. I am 55 and  experiencing all of the symptoms mentioned, mispronounoing words, sometimes speaking with an accent, (that's the strangest),not being able to finish a sentence and most of not being able to think clearly or quickly. All this have led to me developing anxiety attack. I am constantly worry that people will think I'm an idiot as I am supposed to be a graduate and indeed people often look at me strange when I am speaking and can't find the right word to express myself or she I mispronounce words. I am now scare to hold conversation or socialise.

 Thanks about the vitamins,  I have started taking this in the form of vege drinks and it does sometimes help. But I still need help . Is there such thing as menopause support groups.

I am soooo happy I found this site and your conversations. I thought I was loosing my mind and no one was listening. Ok 50 years old and my speech issues are identical to all the ones described on this conversations. I recently started sweating in the middle of the night and occasionally during the day. However, these incidents are still mild. But I will try the vitamins and open to any other suggestions. Thank you, your conversations have afforded much relieve. But will also consult with a doctor. 

I have been awake half the night plucking up the courage to look up dementia symptoms. Inability to finish a sentence, word blindness, memory fade. All of this is driving me completely bonkers. Why do I open my mouth to say one thing and a completely different word comes out? Thank goodness I've found this forum I don't feel quite so scared now x

I am officially in perimenopause. Most of my life every now and then I would combine two words and make one. latest was I was calling myself an Old (Lady and Hag both came you mind) but I combined them and said Old Lag. I'm finding myself doing this a lot more lately and I'm pinpointing it to around my ovulation cycles. I have researched all sorts of metal disorders but only this forum seems to share my symptom and fears. I hope this can be chalked up to hormones and not a mental disorder.... i don't speak gibberish but I combine two words into one a lot. it is just weird and a bit terrifying!

Yep! Same issue here.

I am 49 and in perimenopause - totally have these symptoms and it freaks me out - how long will this keep happening ! I feel like it happens a lot when I AM TIRED . glad i founs this post and I AM NOT ALONE !

Hi ladies!!! To mirror what everyone else is saying . . . Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Im having severe struggles with this. I feel stupid and foolish. Its 3:30 am and I cant sleep because I keep replaying a conversation in my head that I had with the boss the other day.. it came out in the totally wrong context! i think i said the new staff is better than the old staff. what i meant to say is the reformation of the team is a move in the right direction!

Yes this was me yesterday. At the bank to make a deposit. Teller asked me what i would like to have done. Couldn't remember which seemed like a lifetime in waiting. I then said to do a withdrawl. Had to correct myself. I felt stupid. Sweat then started in my armpits, under my breast and head. I am loosing my mind
