Anyone besides reading having problems writing?
When I write I seem forgot how to write, spell or write something else down that I was not suppose to write.
I even have a hard time signing my name.

I am sorry you are experiencing this. Yes, it is a huge problem for me. Especially the spelling part. And I forget what I am writing. And saying. And doing.
I have been planning on buying a dictionary to keep along side my desk as I forget words so easily.

spelling, word finding, handwriting (I mangle letters and transpose or switch them around), forgetting the word I am writing, forgetting the idea I had while writing it, etc. I would have to focus on each letter very carefully to spell and to form the letter correctly. Then I would still mess it up maybe 40-50% of the time on my worst days.
For years and years I would mess up filling out checks and signing my name - it was a huge source of stress, as it was in public many times, in front of someone. I had to tear up a lot of ruined checks.
This has also effected my ability to do my artwork - losing the signals from my brain to my hand has made it next to impossible. Not to mention the loss of abstract and imaginative thinking.
BUT, just a week ago, my handwriting improved dramatically overnight. Now I am having more trouble typing than before. You just never know what will go away and then what *might* pop up in its place.
Reminds me of those carnival games what were they called, where you hit the varmint on the head with a mallet and another one pops up somewhere else?

Yep.
the only reason you see good spelling here on this site is that they introduced the automatic spell checker - it at least underlines mistakes in red so we know.
that helps a great deal.
Give yourself time. With treatment, this will get better.
I had to totally learn to read, write, walk and talk TWICE during all of this.
And, I still have to have my computer in a closet and total quiet to be able to even do a few notes a day. I still can't balance a checkbook or get my grocery list together.
When my house-helper comes to clean, I call everything a "parking meter" or a "fire truck" - I just point now and she knows what I mean.
Funny, whatever words I substitute have exactly the same number of syllables as the thing I meant to say. Always. For years now. The exact number of syllables. My brain is trying to work somehow.
