I have moments like that, but since starting to write almost full time now, i find my typing is better but when I get tired it strats to go bad....yeah, just like that!!!

Yes you are not alone on thatone just read some of my blogs some of them i post i.e yesterday i wrote a blog and posted it and looked i had left a letter out of one word so had to edit it straight away lol the thing is my mind is typing away the right word but when i look up well not the same lol

the worst for me is the predictive text on my phone i text my friends and i often get a reply saying can you re write that did not understand lol

oh well least you know youre not alone

love to you diddle xxx

With you on the 'speel chucker' Helen. Some of my problem re the typing bit is my trigger finger I think. Also brain and fingers no where near on the same page, let alone the same line of the page!!! X

I always considered myself a good speller and a good writer. I soon noticed that as I became more and more ill, it all sort of stopped. I was confused to be honest because I knew how good I was at it. My spelling became poor my typing and writing went out of the window. I have to type a lot slower now which infuriates me as I used to do almost 100wpm. However it's something we all sort of go through. I do still like to type and write at times because its good excersise for my hands.

I think the best thing to do is laugh and make friends with the back button or the delete button haha and also know that your not alone. Its something most of us have faced before and I'm sure that we will be able to understand your blog or question posts just fine. I'm laughing at myself now because of how many times writing this answer alone I've pressed the back button hahaha.

Big hugs, much love to you all xxxxx

Thanks . I did wonder if I was going a bit doolally. I used to be anEnglish teacher then a girl friday so dyslexic fingers are a worry. I am learning to slow down. Or sometimes just to leave it for the entertainment value. Since I am undiadnosed so far, it seems another pointer to the likelihood that this is what has been undermining me for years.

Hi all. I have a problem with words that have 2 letters the same in them, ie, "look".I usually type "lokk" (but I concentrated hard to type it properly that time!!) I have been reading these blogs for a while now, so I dont really notice typing errors any more, I just read them and sort of now what you mean,lol !!

I say things backwards too

I've notice my typing and handwriting are full of typo's - it started 6 months ago and, as someone who prides herself on good grammar and spelling etc., I am now reliant on spell checking on the PC and the Oxford English Dictionary for hand-written stuff. If not for the spell checker - this reply would be illegible for sure! :-(

And like you bumblebee - I say things backwards too - so embarrassing.

Gentle hugs,

Love,

Carol xx
