Brain Fog, Can't Spell!
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I am wondering if anyone else is having trouble with spelling words, or using the correct words when writing. I could not for the life of me spell the word loud yesterday! I ended up spelling it lowd! Now, I do know how to spell that simple word, but could not pull it together! Then I asked my husband....geez loud. I am no brain surgeon, but I did run an English Dept at a University for 6 years, and really had to know my spelling, puncuation etc. Here are some of the things I am all of a sudden doing when writing.

Okay had to correct writing-I wrote riding, the I wrote rote for that one. I am constantly mixing up these words there, their, here, hear, where, ware, bare, bear etc etc etc! I wrote someone that we are HEAR to BEAR one anothers burdens! I spell everything phonetically. Like phony, I would write fony etc. Anyone else having this annoying problem?
We need to petition DS to add spellcheck! I can usually go back and read my text and correct those words most of the time. I am sure when some people read my journal or other stuff, they are wondering where I went to school and if I passed spelling LOL!

Frankly, I hope others are having this problem too...if not...then I must be entering into dementia or alzhiemers at 54!

" lol your to funny
YOu know what ?
I actually forgot ~~~ couldnt wrap my head around how to spell my own name. Now , that was probably on the weekends cuz, I did my shots on Friday's.
I cant spell or write lol. I usually and probably pretty clearly, cannot not make a real proper sentance. So far, I have gone back and looked at what I have written here . Slang, Is one thing we all have , when I write the way I think, my thinking turns to poems. It's easier to say somethings or express, its is easier for me to write like that, then like this.

" i haven't ran into spelling so much( i try and write short hand on some things) as can't finish sentences( i tend to forget what i was saying or just can't seem to spit out the last little bit), and things like putting flip flops on to take dog out and forgetting to put my reg shoes on to go to work..like this morning...lol Also like forgetting where my doc office is?? i mean who forgets that? I work in medical billing so i hope it doesn't get too much worse. Or medicare people gonna have a hard time with me...lol Ive only been on tx for two weeks now, surely it wouldn't start that soon...lol. i might just be having brain spasms or something..lol :) "

" 5Starr-I have the same problem, but for spelling I down loaded the free version of "Tiny Spell" to my computer. Now when I misspell a a word, it "beeps" and I go down to the bottom task bar of my screen and hit the Tiny Spell symbol (which turns yellow, when a word is spelled wrong), anyway hit the symbol and it brings up a pop up list of corrections, highlight one and it corrects the word. Of course it cannot help you with their and there type issues, but Tiny Spell is great for use on DS as a spell check. Give it a try. Like I said, I only down loaded the free version and have been very happy with it. My only problem is sometimes I ignore the "beeps".

" Yes I have had it to( iam not on tx), when I had my first flare up, I swear to god I know what I am typing but as I would look at the screen a wholebunch of *. I was like what in the hell? I know where the keys are at, spirit willing mind just wasnt there, it is completely natural . The largest organ in the body is the liver, an indication of its importance in health. It is involved with almost all of the biochemical pathways that allow growth, fight disease, supply nutrients, provide energy, and aid reproduction. When the liver is compromised then alot of other funky things are going to start happening in your body. For instance: fatigue,
flu-like symptoms, fever, chills, muscle aches, joint pain, headaches, nausea, aversion to certain foods, unexplained weight loss, psychological disorders, including depression, mental confusion (brain-fog) tenderness in the abdomen, jaundice...the list goes on. The liver works at filtering environmental toxins, as well as internal natural toxins that happen as a result of body functions(to much bio to go into), but then throw HCV and the drugs for that on top and your poor liver is doing double, triple time. Make sure you drink all the water you can and eat really good foods it is so important. :D "
