I have begun reversing the order of words in sentences when I type. Plus, I mix up pronouns. For example I may say "them" when I mean "me".

It makes no sense. Does anyone else do this?

It scares me.

It's not uncommon. I have done the same thing. It's often part of neurological lyme and possible

co-infections. I often transpose letters and misspeak words. Sometimes, I can't even find the words I want to speak.

Both my daughter and I have problems with words, mostly when speaking. I have alot of issues with "wordfinding".

I cannot find the word I am looking for. My daughter(she's 10) has trouble with switching the first letters of words around.

She also will switch the entire word around. It is starting to really bother her as she is getting closer to her teenage years.

I assure her that other people have the same problem, but it doesn't help much. I don't even catch it any more I just know what she is saying.

I think this is just another symptom to wait out. It is kind of embarassing when I am trying to have a "grown up" conversation and can't think of a word.

Just thought I'd share. Good luck and take care!

I do this a lot. My sentences always come out rearranged. It's very frustrating! Just wanted to let you know you are not alone.

Yes, Robin123, that's pretty much what I do! [Wink]

This morning I was filling out a form and I put the date as March 24, 2007.

Sheeeesh!
