   Hi Pamela,
   I loved knowing about the new medical condition, Aphasia. It certainly helped to broaden my knowledge. I am sure it will also be helpful for many who suffer from its symptoms. Thank you for the helpful and educative share.

   This is a very informative article, Pamela. I had never heard of Aphasia until I heard Bruce Willis was retiring from acting as a result of it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
   Thanks, Rosina, for sharing the link.

   Thank you so much for posting my article Rosina. I am glad the article broadened your knowledge about a condition that can happen for several reasons.
   
   John, I appreciate your comments. I am glad you found the article informative. Bruce Willis's condition made me think about aphasia.

   I also was not aware of aphasia before Bruce Willis was diagnosed with it.  Very informative article, Pam, thank you for sharing.

   Ravi, I am glad you found this article informative, and I appreciate all of your comments. Aphasia is not caused by someone have Alzheimer's, but someone with Alzheimer's can get aphasia if that makes sense. Aphasia is a condition caused usually by a stroke or head injury.
   
   Thank you so much for your comments Linda. I am glad you are now more knowledgeable about aphasia.
   
   The fact that Bruce Willis got aphasia increased the attention of many people. It is all over the internet. I think his aphasia is probably due to head injuries he received doing so many of his own stunts, so it had a slow onset. I appreciate your nice comments, Bill.

   My mother-in-law developed aphasia after a stroke which eventually led to her death.  I think that she understood us more than the doctors thought, but she could not communicate well.  It is a sad condition for both the patient and those who love them.

   Read this article. Not only do Pamela's articles help me increase my vocabulary, they make me so much more medically aware of my own conditions, and of those around me. I do appreciate the information. Knowing the symptoms can be very useful. Thanks,  Pamela. Thanks, Rosina.

    Thank you for the article, Pamela. I have been dealing with frustrating blanks on words for some time, particularly when feeling anxious in conversation with people I have not been around for a while. I have a couple of bright, wonderful aunts who succumbed to dementia with age, and I don't feel nearly old enough to be "there" (I am 71). I will do some research. I appreciate your ready research on aphasia.

    I am so sorry to hear about you mother-in-law Peggy. It sure is a vey sad condition for all. Developing aphasia following a stroke is the most common cause according to the references. Thank you for your comments Peggy.
    
    Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments Dora. It is good to know the symptoms of medical conditions. I am glad you are more medically aware for yourself and those you care about.

    Pamela, your article was very interesting and informative. I have a few friends and relatives who have speech problems, such as not being able to choose the correct word or forgetting some words while speaking. I had no idea this problem can be so serious. Thank you for sharing this information.
    
    Thank you Rosina for sharing Pamela's article.
    
    Blessings and Love to both of you.

    Cynthia, I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with some frustration. I think all of us over 70 can be a little forgetful, but I don't think that is what you described. It is a good idea to be informed, and maybe you will find some answers in your research. Thank you for your comments.
    
    Misbah, I am glad you found the article informative and interesting. It sounds like you know some people with mild aphasia, but it can become more serious over time, I appreciate your comments, as always. Much love and blessings.
