Has anyone ever noticed that if your mind is racing or not feeling in A1 shape you tend too also spell wrong
because you are already thinking of the next word?
I do this a lot when not feeling up to par. My spelling can be super bad and quite often give up. Not sure
if it is because a person is afraid of a seizure and wants to get all down before it happens or what. Letters
of the word following will appear at the end or near the end of the previous word.

I also have a problem using smaller sized keyboards. In fact typing in general became more difficult after I
had seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy. I noticed about a week before I started having grand mal
seizures, that I was constantly making typing mistakes and spelling some words backwards. For example, the
would be eht. I had never had problems like this before.
I had a doctor ask me if my handwriting had changed. He was the only doctor who asked this, but I told him
that my handwriting had become very sloppy and I had trouble forming letters. In fact, I started printing
rather than writing because I had trouble reading my own writing. I also had trouble spelling. Has anyone
else noticed this?
