I have always, always, always prided myself on my spelling, typing, etc. I never have really had much of an issue, until recently. Sometimes I think my brain is working faster than my fingers because I will be thinking of what I want to say, and it doesn't always make it to my posts. I'll completely leave out entire words. I even proofread and still miss it - maybe because I still "see" it in my brain?
Also I've noticed a decrease in my spelling ability. I have, as of late, noticed that I am leaving off letters. Never have done this before. Ever.

Don't mean to scare you but you have all the symptoms of Alzheimer's in this post and some other symptoms I have noticed in other threads that I won't go into here. If I were you I'd get some test, they have ways of slowing the progression of this horrific disease now.
Oh, stop it. That's not even funny.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I got the impression that superfly was concerned, because this was a new and recent problefm for her.

I still do "teh" instead of "the" but lately the 2nd and 3rd letter is gone from the start of a sentence from standstill.
I started thinking it was a brain fart, then clumsy typing, then the keyboard, then this website and their correction software ... now I just don't know but it's still happening.
You have all the symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease. *eye roll*

He has one tiny symptom which means nothing, Super on the other hand has a long list of symptoms that coincide perfectly with an Alzheimer's diagnosis and she really should see a doctor immediately. This is no laughing matter young lady!
Ten Early Signs of Alzheimer's Disease:
- Memory loss that disrupts daily life.One of the most common signs of Alzheimer's is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; increasingly needing to rely on memory aids (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own.
- Challenges in planning or solving daily problems. Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before.
- Difficulty in performing simple tasks. People with Alzheimer's often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game.
- Confusion with time or place. People with Alzheimer's can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there.
- Trouble understanding visual images or spatial relationships. For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer's. They may have difficulty reading, judging distance and determining color or contrast, which may cause problems with driving.
- New problems with words in speaking or writing. People with Alzheimer's may have trouble following or joining a conversation. They may stop in the middle of a conversation and have no idea how to continue or they may repeat themselves. They may struggle with vocabulary, have problems finding the right word or call things by the wrong name (e.g., calling a "watch" a "hand-clock").
- Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps. A person with Alzheimer's disease may put things in unusual places. They may lose things and be unable to go back over their steps to find them again. Sometimes, they may accuse others of stealing. This may occur more frequently over time.
- Decreased or poor judgment. People with Alzheimer's may experience changes in judgment or decision-making. For example, they may use poor judgment when dealing with money, giving large amounts to telemarketers. They may pay less attention to grooming or keeping themselves clean.
- Withdrawal from work or social activities. A person with Alzheimer's may start to remove themselves from hobbies, social activities, work projects or sports. They may have trouble keeping up with a favorite sports team or remembering how to complete a favorite hobby. They may also avoid being social because of the changes they have experienced.
- Changes in mood or personality. The mood and personalities of people with Alzheimer's can change. They can become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful or anxious. They may be easily upset at home, at work, with friends or in places where they are out of their comfort zone.
I know you mean well; you've proven that. But really. "All the symptoms"??
STFU, Sawyer.
Everybody else - thanks! Good to know that I'm not alone. For what it's worth, I never do it anywhere else - only when typing. If I'm writing a paper for school, if I'm posting here, if I'm posting on Facebook. The last time I was tested, I typed 90wpm so you'd think that I'd be able to keep up, but I guess not LOL.

How have you been sleeping and is there any particular stress you're going through? I have the exact same thing happen when I get tired and/or when I have too many damned things going on.
I think that's typically considered a huge health issue. I would feel compelled to fix that to ensure I didn't suffer any long-term effects from it...typing issues being the least of those! I thought I was doing terrible with only 6 hours, and I eventually reduced stress enough so that I got tired again and could actually sleep 8 hours, and be tired when I woke up (which I hadn't felt in quite a while...scary!). For me it was entirely stress. I was just wound up and ready to go. Some of it too is Netflix, chain-watching series that have cliff-hangers is a modern digital age diseaseI never sleep. Maybe a couple of hours a night, and a couple in the morning once the kids go to school. My sleep is so jacked up now that I'm lucky if I get 4 hours a day.
