Word finding

Posted , 15 users are following.

How many of you have experiences brain fog and language changes? I notice for the last 1-1/2 I have a hard time finding the right word or I'll say a word and it will be opposite but similar to what I'm searching for. For instance, I might want to say "12 noon", but itll come out "12 midnight". Odd stuff like that...

Please tell me this is a peri thing and I'm not starting to lose my mind! LOL.

      Totally understand this. I have a similar background, so thats always first and foremost in my mind, too. I treat dementia people every day. Plus, my grandma and her three sisters all had dementia in their 80's. I will do everything in my power not to live the end of my life like that.

    ME! It is very scary at times and so unlike me. I notice that it getting worse since not having a period for over 3 months. My Gyn has recommended bio replacement hormones. She has personally noticed a significant improvement with symptoms, including memory loss.
