    I have that experience sometimes. When you're having to backspace every other word, you know it's time for a coffee break. (Or whatever you use to refresh yourself if, like me, you don't drink coffee.) (2 backspaces needed in the construction of this post.)

      I've been doing this for almost 20 years and now it seems like I am trying to learn all over again. Letters are garbled up, missing, wrong words come out. The same thing happened a few weeks ago. If this is a repeat, then I can look forward to a whole day of banging on the Backspace key. Maybe I should go back to typing like Tony Two-Fingers. Luckily today is only a half-day so the misery should be brief.

      Get checked out - could be the first signs of a stroke.

              True, but having seen the symptoms before (in my mother), it's a classic sign of a TIA or mini stroke, especially if it's happened before.

                You could try to type by smashing the head on the keyboard. But I know days like that - sometimes it's more wasting electric power than productive work.

                      Compounded by the fact that I have high blood pressure, it could be a stroke. X| Although I have my doubts. I think my brain is getting so efficient at thinking that my hands can't keep up. :)

                          No doubts about that. I would have counted it a blessing if my typing was the only thing to go. My hairline beat it to the punch. Although it was a close call if the hair was the first to go or the smaller pant size. I can still fit into my old size, but I start turning blue in the face.

                            I wondered when someone would bring that up :p. No bacon either (or any cured pork meats). Cold fingers (I've just been outside for lunch) mean I have trouble typing, in keeping with the original thread.
