Recently it has be noticeable that my writing and spelling has changed. So after speaking to my consultant it was suggested that I wrote a topic out and then went back to check and correct it.
Believe me it started off fine but then developed into something that was out of this world. I know my spelling has gone out of the window. But in the end there were words that I could not work out what they were supposed to be.
I have always been right handed, but due to my job as an engineer, I learnt to use both hands, now a major part of the problem is caused by my left hand becoming faster than my right.
This means that most of the letters in a word are there, but in the wrong order. I have now started to double up on the wrong letters in some words which is giving me a lot of stress, and I just can not understand what is happening inside my head. A word like letters, becomes "leeterrs" or something similar, and other times letters are completely missing from words or words missing from sentences.
I know dementia causes havoc, but there are times when I think I am trying to write in a foreign language and if it were not for things like spell check I would be totally lost.
I now understand how frustrating people feel when they lose the ability to write or use the computer through this illness, and my heart goes out to them.
