Typing back to front

tolditsnot's picture

Just wondering, I type a bit for work/study if noticed, quite requrally that if I type a word say "read" I will then look at the screen
and I have typed, "rdea".

Another stupid thing sometimes I have say the lid to the sugar bowl in my hand and have to stop and think about what to do with it.

What do you think is happening?????

MS Madness

A lot of us experience this sort of thing on and off, especially when one is exhausted...

I remember going through stages of not being to actually add up 1+1, or 2+2 which absolutely scared the crap out of me!! This was before my actual diagnosis. This would just happen out of the blue. Same with words, would spell words wrong, like come hear, instead of come here!

I've had episodes where I can't remember how to put down my umbrella, episodes of putting something down and a second later not being able to recall what I just did.

With me it comes and it goes. A lot has a bearing on how tired I am, and also if I'm having a relapse.

Cognitive issues

Yeah, we've all done that sort of thing on a regular basis. I know I have and it's very, very common with us all. I just laugh and go "geez, I'm going senile" and put it behind me. It's OK, honest. Refer to a funny incident I related on the old website:

Gotta laugh at it and accept that this is the lot of someone with MS. BTW spell check is helpful with the typos Big smile

wuddle my mords

You're not alone. I remember once when I was making myself a snack, I poured the orange juice into the peanut-butter jar instead of the glass next to it. I also find when stressed that I often wuddle my mords...........?? Drunk Drunk
