I haven't been on the site awhile mostly due to getting sick of the same 2 or 3 people copy and pasting the same garbage in each thread. However I was thinking about something today and wanted to put it up to the forum and look for input.
Has anyone noticed symptoms similar to Agraphia with MS? Having a hard time grabbing the correct word in a sentence or while typing? It seems for me this has been getting worse the past few years, it's very frustrating to be having a conversation and say the wrong word while you're talking and not realize it. Or while typing an e-mail put the wrong word in but it was "right" when you typed it. I wasn't sure if lesions in the brain could cause these kinds of issues?
So help me LyndaCarrol if you post B12 spam again I'm leaving the forum again for good.

Nope. I haven't noticed that myself. It probably is a lesion located in or near the exact same place one would find their social graces. I hope it gets better for you...

sorry, had to laugh. I feel ya with all that b12 stuff. I get it, it's a possibility for everyone, but this board is about MS not b12.Re: Agraphia with MS

Yes, I have noticed this but never made the connection. But it does make sense now. It doesn't happen to me often but when it does, I am amazed how the wrong word just 'appears' magically. I now reread everything I type, sometimes twice!

Yeah, it's very frustrating, it happens to me in conversations sometimes and I get looked at like I have two heads. My last MRI was 2+ years ago and there were 6 lesions, I'm thinking I will go back for a follow up this year to see if anything has changed.
