I just had this idea last night... most of us lyme brain and make mistakes in our speech. I do it all the time -- rearrange letters in sentences, say something backwards, etc.
I thought whenever one of us made a slip-up that we thought funny, we could post it and all laugh about it together (not in a make-fun-of type of way, but just to laugh together because we all know what it's like). Every time it happens you can come here to post it.
I'll go first: The other day my husband and I were talking about pizza. I had meant to say pizza crust but ended up saying pust.

That is a good one.
I had to bring snacks for my daughter today at school (her birthday).
She wanted cupcakes and apple juice.
I ate lunch with her and told her that I had brought the cupcakes and applesauce.
She was real upset there for a minute.
I do this all day long every day.
My prayer is that I don't do that in Court next week.
Hugs,
Geneal

Ok, this is bad....I "know" I do this all the time. And as I sit here trying to remember one of those times to post....you know I can't remember one? Sad, Sad, Sad...well, if I manage to remember one in my fogged up brain...I'll be back...

The other day I told my kids "it's a good movie for a night" (instead of a good night for a movie) and didn't realize I had said anything wrong until they told me.

The other day I was talking to a friend I don't see very often and a whole long sentence came out with all the words in the wrong order. After I said it, I looked puzzled and told him I was having trouble with word order today ... he said it was okay he understood what I was trying to say.
Good thing he did ... I'm not sure I would have even remembered what I was trying to say ... it's my first Levaquin/Bart herx and it's having some of the funniest cognitive symptoms yet!
Thank goodness for the cognitive symptoms or this disease would be all pain and fatigue!

I have a terrible time if I get started typing something, I have this tendency to type entire words backwards, spelled correctly, but backwards!
Not to mention all of the goofy things (like doubling the wrong letter in a word!)Or hitting the wrong button on the keyboard and think, whaaaat the heck did I just do, and what the *%&^ am I looking at?????
AAaaahhhh, the life of a Lymie!!!!

I do mix up word & sentences sometimes....not even close to like it was before treatment.
The funny thing is now my hubby ( who calls it Lyme Speak ) is starting to understand my lyme speak
For instance, we where having hamburgers for dinner the other night ~ Lyme speak~ "do you want your mums heated up in the picrowave".
...translated "Do you want your buns heated up in the microwave"
Gotta laugh

Just said this earlier today and my husband and I had a big laugh about it:
We were talking about the apple pie we made some months ago. We had made our own crust out of graham crackers. I was talking about it and I said, "graham crapper"!!!! because obviously my mind mixed up apple and cracker...
Then later that night I was talking to my husband and said, "Do you annoy me?" And I meant to say, "Do I annoy you?" LOL. My husband said, "Is that a freudian slip or something?" haha
