There is a condition called "Anomia", of which I have suffered for several years, even prior to my diagnosis of PD. I could quote the complete definition, in fact I sounded like a bloody dictionary talking, but I couldn't come up with the word. Since I am a reference librarian, and it was very embarrassing to me. I finally just decided to sound like a dictionary talking, and let the patrons , to whom I was talking, supply the correct word. Most of them think I'm just playing a game with them, and I'm not about to tell them the truth. Once I get the right word, then I seem to be able to hold on to it, but I just find new ones to forget. If I'm fully medicated, I don't seem to have that problem. Come on Sinemet patch!!!!!! As Ever, Marjorie Moorefield just another librarian with PD
