Do people family friends etc make fun of you if you get words mixed up, and come out with something thats not related to what your talking about. Its happened twice to me this week. just wondering if any of you ladies have had people make fun of you
Dear Kaz, in my case I stuggle with close friends and family taking this as mainly a psychological issue. It's like saying that i'm weak. I totally get it believe me. XX Teresa
Hi Kaz
people inc family always laugh at me! It started when I was 16 ish. I'm always getting words mixed up and not being able to remember simple words even if I'm looking at the object I want to talk about! I couldn't remember the word vase yesterday all I could say was the thing that holds flowers and water!! They call me tangent because I always start talking about things that we were talking about hours before, it's like my brain can't keep up with the conversation or something. My children even make fun of me now they are 9 and 10. I have to keep saying well at least you know what I'm on about or they just look at me blank! As you can see I know exactly how you feel. I've tried to read more, I love reading but I'm getting slower at it for some reason. Keep going that's all I can say and don't get too upset about the other people just let it go over your head, you have too or you will get too upset I know I've been there.
Its family friends Im having it off, its not on being made fun of. we are dealing with enough as it is, sometimes wish I was on a desert island..Having a bit of a down day today never mind plod on thank you for sharing your experience

Thank you so much for sharing that with me, its really been bad this week, spelling has been all to pot words getting mixed up Ive talked such garble this week nothing has made sense at all. the other day my husband said what are you going on about what was coming out my mouth was nothing to do with the conversation we were having, so glad Im not on my own with this 1. its driving me mad. take care gentle hugs
! Take care XXX
Hi kaz , yes family and friends do all the time. I get frustrated with myself at times. Words are on the tip of my tongue but somthing completly different comes out. When your trying to have a conversation and people are just laughing over you because said wrong thing, i just think bo*****s now ha ha. ;-)
Hi Hazel I try not to let it get to me if I can when people make fun of me, but it gets to me at times especially if having a bad day.never mind onwards upwards as they say take care gentle hugs and thank you for sharing your experience with me. much appeciated
Hi,
A few weeks ago I said something really out of my Norm" I think I called my
daughter-my grandchild"or something to the like.And my Niece quickly corrected
me.Smiles.But when I mentioned it to my Daughter,she said thats not so bad you just spoke without thinking.
Now,are you telling me its a sign of Fibro?
They used to but then I began saying things like "sorry, it's the drugs/meds", and shrug my shoulders. Or I'll say it dementia creeping in, knowing that if it was dementia, I probably wouldn't be aware of it.
By making a joke of it, I can ease the tension around it.
Hi lisa thats a good idea to make a joke of it, normally I just try shrug it off, but today Ive been a bit low so wasnt so easy to do today. But I will bare that in mind what you said about making a joke of it and give that a try. Thank you for sharing that with me much appreciated take care gentle hugs
Oh just say it's a foreign language, a new course you're taking online...Mandarin, or Russian 
Hi teressa I like that idea making out its a new language.
Deal with it from position of power, not weakness: the "psout" is "soup" in Russian. 
its hard to take at times BUT I will have to try and believe it says more about the person that is saying it than it does me as I wouldnt sink to that level I love the word psout
Hi elaine unfortunatly it is one of the many symptoms of fibro
Hi Kaz,you are not alone. There is nothing fair about this illness.
Hugs
Meg
Hi meg I totaly agree with you on that. take care gentle hugs
Hi Kaz
No, not really as I don't have any friends only on here. Its odd when we come out with something completely different to what we should have said, happens to me all the time. Sometimes I don't notice when I say something wrong, and my husband will say 'do you realise what you've just said'..Feel a right idiot on times!
Its forever happening to me, getting words jumbled up missing words out its so frustrating and annoying at times, I get my .hair off with my self. But its part of this horrid condition it cant be helped. we just have to larn to adapt and plod on the best we can. finding this site has been of great help. take care
