A side-effect of the migraines is I keep losing words. It's worse if I talk out loud, but it def. happens in text, too.
I pretty much constantly am in a state of 'it's on the tip of my tongue.' As a writer, it fucking blows.
I'm a migraineur too and this totally happens to me. I wasn't sure if it was the medication or the prodrome/postdrome themselves doing it. If it's the headaches themselves I think I feel better about it.
I was introducing the school psychologist in a meeting and I forgot the word psychologist it was the worst.
I think it's the migraines themselves. Because often when it happens, I'm either in pain or dealing with the other aura (light sensitivity, vertigo, etc.). It does suck! But it's also helped my doctors understand how much it's affecting me, since they see it happening. It's been almost constant, sadly. I hate talking in person unless I've taken the imitrex (which, since I go out so rarely, I've been able to save pretty much just for 'have to leave house and interact with people').
Happens online, too,but at least then I can take my time until I find the word or an alternate one.
