No it was optional for me to take it before a procedure to remove a fibroid. It reduced it's size before surgery.
No known add or ever suspected.
People i know well. Yes. I'm less anxious about doing as any lack of fluidity is something they know me for. But still get lost finding a particular word.

Try too read more fiction. Difficult to focus. Some have suggested reading aloud so will see if that helps

I'm in my 30s so hope not. It's only alarming in the sense that i don't observe anyone around me having the same issues.
Anecdotally people on the web I've heard say that they are starting to feel like this as a result of having been in lockdown.

This sounds quite interesting. Extra challenge in trying to be humorous too.

Yep this is exactly it. I remember bumping into a friend on the train while i was reading. They asked if i was enjoying it and all i could say was, yep it's really good - and they just replied 'ok' and chuckled.

I've spoken to the doctor about the impact of the meds and they said any negative effects should not have been an issue a couple of months after coming off.
I've heard about that book but thought it was about being more sociable. How could it help with speech?
Speaking aloud more and recording, will give it a try, thanks.

Have had a full blood count. All fine in that aspect.

Ha. Nothing not legal and couldn't turn up to work high in any event. Glad it's working out for you!

I read a lot formally worded content in my line of work every day, though i think this adds to the issue maybe - i can very effectively skim read to get to the key points.
Trying to read more fiction wise, difficult to concentrate sometimes. Reading out loud sounds like great tip and may improve focus. Will try this, thanks.

I've considered toastmasters. Public speaking is another matter, though i feel if i was fluid as others, i wouldn't mind it.

This sounds like a good idea, thanks. Ideally I'd like to do it more spontaneously but at least this would build up some talking points.
