Hi guys, Its called Nounal Aphasia and happens a lot to stroke victims. I have it pretty bad and of course stress makes it worse. I'm guessing that area of the brain is very sensitive to oxygen and as we have all had our episodes.....mine got markedly worse after I was sick and on the ventilator. So people give me the word and eventually I finish a sentence, used to make me mad now its like eh? Not the worst thing happening lol Dyane, 54, Phoenix, IIP 02 now NSIP 09, Breast Cancer, Psoriasis, Lipodermatosclerosis, Diabetes, and now a RA

like autoimmune component, yadda yadda yadda."Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving is a pretty, well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, chocolate in one hand, Margaritas in the other, loudly proclaiming "Holy **** What a ride!"."
