If this is occasional and not all the time, it can also be a symptom of a migraine. It happens to me - at it's most severe I can't even think in words, when it's less severe, I can't find the words I want to say, and often stumble over them even if I can find them. It can happen without the migraine headache (and does, in my case). Could it also be a problem in focusing? I.e., you know the words but you have difficulty focusing on the conversation? When you write, do you have the same issue? I would talk to your doctor.

I forget the whole conversation right in the middle of a sentence and have to ask what i was talking about. I wonder if these problems are related? I speak really fast, but then, just like that, poof.........and i can't remember the conversation topic or what i was saying about it!
I get very embarrassed by this, bet you do too.
If it's really getting you down i should see the doc.
I can't cause i know his answer to me already: "It's due to the the diazepam and cannabis you smoke" (Giving up-before my friends e mail me telling me off!!)
But I've done it for years certainly before the dope and diazepam..........................

FIrst thing to consider is if this is something that is new or that you are noticing has developed over time (versus something that you have always had problems with). If it is something new, I recommend going to your primary doctor who could do a more thorough evaluation. Don't try and diagnosis yourself, because lapses in memory and delayed processing can be a result of many things (brain injury/trauma, depression, dementia, drug abuse...the list goes on and on). Record as much information as possible to share with your doctor (i.e. if your memory is better certain parts of day than others, diet, current meds), you may even want to consider recording one of your conversations, which would be good for yourself and your healthcare provider to review. Best of luck!

aphasia is usually caused by brain damage or stroke and is usually severe. if it is not severe then i would recommend being tested for dyslexia. it causes trouble remembering words or mixing up other words that sound alike. it also causes difficulty reading/testing/speaking.

I don;'t know what syndrome it is but just tell people you talk slow so that you can make sure they understand you

In my case it's a very dreaded disease called "OLD AGE"! And I will thank you not to bring it up again! Bring what up? I have no idea!! Let me take a nap and think it over.
