Like at Bible study. I can follow text if someone else is reading, but as soon as I am called on to read a passage, the words get reversed, upside down, change and even disappear. Then I start babbling. They must think I am senile.

Is this something that has just started happening? Or have you always had challenges with reading aloud?

Speaking in tongues! :)

I tend to be that way in a strange setting but not when I'm around people that I'm familiar with.

The only way that I can think of to overcome it is to keep at it even though it may be awkward and uncomfortable for you.

Good luck!
 

Ha, you're

I have brought up many issues to my PCP and all she does is say, in effect, that I am getting older and have to expect I don't function as well as I used to. Problem is that there are only 3 doctors locally and 2 aren't taking new patients. Even some doctors I'd have to travel a good distance to see are "booked up until March next year."

I’m sorry to hear that and I know it’s difficult for you but I would make some plans to travel to find a physician who can provide a definitive diagnosis. The closest city to you?
 
Do you think it has something to do with social anxiety? I have it to a point, and like you, often have trouble speaking in public. I get all tongue tied. If you figure out a way to overcome it, let me know.

That is also a possibility
