Hi Everyone,
Happy New Year! I am having a sudden onset of mixing up the word I want to say with a completely unrelated word. I have never had anything like this before and of course, my MS Clinic has been closed all week. In each instance, I knew the word I that came out of my mouth was not the intended word so I am aware of it when it happens.
My son counted about 14 episodes yesterday alone but it first started on Monday. For example, last night when we were out for dinner, I told my family and friends that people at work had been stealing the I-Phone cases because they are spaghetti! I was trying to say it was because they are expensive. The entire table looked quite surprised and then started to laugh because they thought I was being funny.
Another example was I asked my younger son to get the buffalo out of the car when I meant groceries, etc. Is this a MS thing? How worried do I need to be? I could try to contact my PCP but I won't reach a neurologist. Do I need to go to an ER or no need? Has anyone else experienced this?
For reference, I just had MRI's 12/16 and Rituximab 12/17. I also had a three day course of IV Solumedrol 1218-12/20.
Thanks so much!
