words

[Guest guest]

Mitch, I also have trouble thinking of common words. I'll say to someone, "You know, that thing that goes around & gets you cool," and they'll say, "A fan?" My kids & grandkids think it's funny, and sometimes it is, but it can also be very frustrating. Embarrassing too, when it happens in the checkout line or somewhere. But I just try to mellow out & accept it as another thing to live with. Like you, I sometimes leave a blank spot in a message & try to fill it in later. Sometimes I forget & send it with the gap, so the message doesn't quite make sense! Might as well laugh about it; better than cussing or crying.

Count me in on this one. I've had memory issue's that I just thought were age related but now I'm not sure at all. After this last month's episode that almost landed me in the Hospital for a week or two. I have been worse then ever. In fact it took me 5 minutes to think of the word "episode" , I had to write the whole thing around it until it came to me (and I'm not even sure if that's the word I wanted but it fit so instead of making myself crazy, I went with it),. Since that month's bout with Sarc (the worst in over a year and a half, I can't think of easy words that I use all the time in every day life. It's actually scaring me a bit.

It is that I believe that chemical exposures , un-approved shots and the infamous PB pill could have contributed or caused my Neurosarcoidosis. So I have applied to the VA as a possible Gulf War illness. All of my symptoms' I can apply to my Neurosarcoidosis lead all the way back to 1991. Extreme headaches, extreme sinus blockage, memory lost, depression, lost of balance , well I could go on but also one of my symptoms is the inability at times to speak, pronounce words. My doctors can not identify one thing or a group of things that have caused this. Heck since 1991 I have been misdiagnosed with Hep – B and or Meningitis at least during the initial test but when the actual test for those were done the were negative. So since the Gulf War I have had a lot of issues that I now know were symptoms of Neuro growing. When I found and identified it , it almost took my life (I had a stoke) and since Aug 2008 I have not been allowed to work. Was it the Golf War that caused it or accelerated my Neurosarcoidosis?? That I think is the real question. Not sure if I could prove either one, so lets see if the VA can disprove one or both..
