Although I have voted yes it's probably an insult to truely dislexic people. What I have developed is a sort of word blindness and Ive gone from a very competent speller to someone who questions every word as it doesn't look right but I don't know why its wrong. It takes me much longer to write anything as I have to check it many thimes and my typing is appaling and I was an old school touch typist with English Grammar A Levels. So it's very frustrating to produce written work, mind you a spoken sentance itn't much easier, lol.

I have to agree with Sharon I have said yes but not sure if it's true dyslexia however I have problems typing the wrong word, not being able to remember how to spell even easy words, struggle with sounded out even sometimes. Also words can be spelt right but I think they are wrong.

These problems have got much more noticeable in the last 6 months.

I am still working but emails take a long time, I spell check but I still have to read them through a few times as I use the wrong words

Strangely I'm okay with letters and words, but numbers are a different matter. When I write or type up phone numbers or long series of numbers (ie NHS numbers at work) I get them mixed up and have to triple check every time to ensure accuracy in letters etc. This only started about 3 months ago but is getting worse.

Agree with Sharon,Jet, Annie. Hate to say I'm glad to see others do this too. It makes me feel like I'm going crazy! :)lots of times, this "blankness" happens also on those dizzy days too.

Voted 'no' but continue to struggle with reading
