Keep Mixing Up My Words Posted: 09-10-03 14:49pm
My husband said he has done some research
on this and feels that it is part of early
alzheimers. The problem is I can be
talking and then all of a sudden I start
mixing up words from other sentences and
getting things all confused. Then I have
to stop and start all over again but a
little slower to make sure it all comes
out correctly. I told my husband that I
just talk to fast and mix things up. I
talk before I think. He said that is not
always the case. I can be talking normal
and mix up my words or loose what I was
talking about. Does anyone have any
suggestions on this? Please help. I am
only 33 with a 10 year old son getting
ready to move into a new house and we want
to start trying to have a baby with in the
next year. Thanks

I do the same. I'm only 22. I have
worked with alot of people who have
alzheimers and there more forgetful, they
remember the past and not what is go on at
the present time. I get to talking so
fast that the words in my head are going a
100 mph. And I cant say anything right.
Just remember to slow down and think of
what is going to come out. If you are
worried about this see a doctor and have
them check you out.. Best of luck..

I don't really think there's anything to
worry about. I've taken a course on
alzheimer's and one thing you have to find
out, is if anyone else in your family has
had alzheimer's before the age of 55 (that
is very important in your research).
There are 2 different types of
alzheimer's, one is hereditary (the onset
is before 55, but very, very, very, very
rarely at your age). The other type, is
not hereditary and the onset is later in
life, usually late 70's early 80's.
I suffer the same problem as you quite
frequently and i'm 27. The reason for my
mix ups are because like you said, i'm
speaking before i'm thinking. Other
times it's because i'm thinking of waaaay
too many things at once. You say you're
getting ready to move, that could be
causing a lot of stress which would make
you mix your words up more than usual. I
also get lost in mid sentence as well and
then totally forget what I was talking
about until someone triggers my memory.
I got a little worried at one point too
but I realized something...If there's
distractions, then i'm more than likely to
get "lost" on what i'm saying. I've
learned to turn the tv down, music down,
and shut out background noise before I
speak and really think about what i'm
saying. I bet if you become aware of
your surroundings when you mix up your
words and forget what you're saying,
you'll realize that something else
distracted you.
One other thing that might put your mind
at ease about alzheimer's is this: if you
had the disease, you wouldn't even be
aware at all that you mixed up your words
or that you forgot what you were saying.
Thus the reason that people with
alzheimer's repeat what they say may times
over. It affects their short term
memory. Thus the reason they live in the
past most of the time. Some even need
their mirrors removed out of their homes
because they don't recognize the person
they see in the mirror anymore and it
scares them. So with that information,
you need not worry and if you have any
other questions, feel free to ask. Hope
this helps.

If you feel you have a problem,get an
appointment with a neurologist & be
tested.Md's don't know enough about
alzheimer's to make a good guess.

Normal, Everyday Prescription Drugs Can Make You Forgetful Posted: 01-10-06 23:20pm
Hi b. Colvin,
i'm 31, under a lot of stress (looking
after my grandfather whose ad is getting
much worse) and I find i've been having
way too many forgetful moments, eg using
the wrong word, forgetting what I was
saying - before I finished my sentence,
putting things that should've gone in the
freezer into the fridge, etc. But i'm not
getting ad, i'm just stressed out, tired,
and taking several different
antidepressents. So mixing your words up
might be mainly the result of a drug(s)
you're taking, and many drugs other than
antidepressents can cause foggy
forgetfulness. And I always wonder when
I read and note how many of my older
relatives are taking antidepressents, even
some with ad and vad, if these drugs make
me so forgetful, a healthy young 31 year
old woman, how are they effecting them?

I learned a long time ago this can happen
if your blood pressure is messed up. I
presume it to be hiigh for this to happen.
It used to happen to me all the time,
and eventually I was diagnosed with high
blood pressure. I now am medicated so it
dont happen anymore.

The true answer and key to our dis-eases
is the link between our natural antibodies
and us. Known as probiotics these are
what make us strong.
