Oh, @Joannie, That is so me.
Try doing a crossword puzzle, even the simplest words evade you!
I found this was a bit of an issue when I went into menopause and it was helped a lot with HRT.
When I went off the HRT due to breast cancer, it came back.
However Chemo made it much, much worse. I couldn't think of the simplest words, and even stringing a sentence together became a problem.
It nearly had me in tears of despair as I thought I was losing all my vocabulary forever, and it was something I had been proud of.
It is getting a bit better now, though I am only 9 weeks out of chemo, as long as I take it slowly the words do mostly come to me.
Crossword puzzles are still a challenge though and everything is worse if I am tired.
I am still persisting with the puzzles to try and get the words back, I hope it helps.
