Well ladies it seems I am not alone and you are not alone.
I have just had numerous tests run by my doctor to see what is going on. I too have become dyslexic. I am 51 years old. Went through menopause due to hysterectomy 4 years ago. That took about 2 years and those symptoms are over thank goodness. So I can cross that off the list. I don't fit the ADD profile. I have to check my work 2-3 times for errors before it's completed. I am the "go to" girl at work and in our family. I type up all family correspondence and edit/write the emails and letters for coworkers before they go out. When reading I can't stop myself from "editing". Now I need someone to go behind me to check my work! Also when I talk, bacon and eggs are acon and beggs. It is embarrassing. So far I have results on an MRI – it is normal. Waiting on EEG, carotid artery and arterial doppler test results.
Any word on ya'll's symptoms? Any improvements???
I sure would like to hear from you.

OMY! I mean OMG! Yes, it happens to me a lot! Boss gets irritated, I get nervous and it gets worse. I used to type 90 words/minute accurately. If I did that now, it would be in Martian not English. I can't even string a sentence together – I transpose words, can't remember names of objects at times too! ARGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to be 50 – what the heck is going on? I'm actually going to school and have an A average, but it takes tremendous consentration. I'm concentrating really hard on this message to make sure it's ok.
It's so darned frustrating!

I am in my mid 40's and have entered menopause early. I am also having touble especially with typing. I keep flipping letters in the words. For example: how are you diong today? It is happening all the time now. Is this normal?? No one else I talk too seems to be having this problem.

I am having that problem myself and it is frustrating. I thought that I was alone. I downloaded a program called iespell it is on the menu for the right button on the mouse, that tool has helped a lot because you can use it everywhere you cant use spell check.

Do you find that noise unnerves you? Lots of noise stresses me out and over-whelms me.
