How many of you have problems posting correctly on Rally Point due to physical or psychological problems?

I just wonder how many others are like me when it comes to posting questions or comments. I take a lot of med due to PTSD, heart, thyroid, joint conditions etc., so some times my brain works a lot faster than my fingers and I forget part of sentences or mispell works, which I think sometimes causes confusion or misunderstanding for others. Sometimes I go back and read what I posted and it don't even make a lot of sense to me. Does anyone else experience this or should I just stop posting?

I personally don't have any problems posting because of medication I have the occasional fat finger syndrome! So what I have to do is slow down and proof read what I've typed to make sure everything is spelled right and that it makes sense to me.
Never stop posting everyone on here knows what it's like to have a hard time doing something and if they can't deal with that then they can just scroll on by!

I re-read everything I type about three times before hitting respond, and still mess up about 25% of the time. There's a reason we can edit. Don't sweat it too much.
One of my meds causes cognitive slowing (topiramate) depending on which brand they give me which month. And depending on how bad of a migraine I have, I can be downright "mean" (my wife calls it "rattlesnake mean"), though that is never my intent.
Don't ever stop posting though. As long as your intent isn't to belittle, any minor foible in grammar will be quickly forgiven.

My problem is that I forget to proof read it and I'm posting on an iPhone. I wish the app would let us edit as well.

Thanks, Brother! This stuff I take for my PTSD causes long and very short term memory loss, I might write a sentence or the same part of one 2 or 3 times before I catch myself. Morphine for pain, but I really skip that one and try to deal, no sense in having two additions.

SFC Collin McMillion there's some great new studies out on Morphine addiction worth checking out. The gist is that environment/support structure mitigates the addiction factors tremendously.
Here's me paraphrasing.
"grandma gets hit by a car. Gets put on med grade morphine for 6 months. Heals up, but when she gets out of hospital, is NOT an addict because she has family, friends, activities. It's the lack of those things that 'lend' to addiction."
Worth checking out.
