Garbled Texting Could Indicate Stroke

   If you've had a stroke or know someone who has, you have plenty of company.   The American Heart Association reports that every year about 795,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke.
It has become the fourth leading killer in the U.S. with more than 137,000 people dying of stroke annually.
Many of those who do survive are left with long term disabilities.
  While numbness, weakness, difficulty walking and speaking are typical symptoms, doctors now have another one to add to the list.  A recent case reported in the Archives of Neurology indicates that garbled texting could also be a warning sign of stroke.

Garbled Texting Reveals Woman's Stroke
A text from an 11-weeks-pregnant woman to her husband so alarmed him, he insisted she go immediately to an emergency room, doctors report.
The message read: "every where thinging days nighing," her text read. "Some is where!" The woman's husband knew she kept her autocorrect off, so something else was up, ABC News reported.
At the emergency room, doctors diagnosed the 25-year-old with a stroke. The story does have a happy ending, however. After a hospital stay and treatment with blood thinners her symptoms resolved and her pregnancy continued normally, ABC notes.
The event was reported online Dec. 25 in the Archives of Neurology by doctors from Harvard School of Medicine. The doctors refer to the woman's condition as "dystextia," a termed coined in an earlier case.  The condition appears to be a new type of aphasia, which is trouble processing written or spoken information. "As the accessibility of electronic communication continues to advance, the growing digital record will likely become an increasingly important means of identifying neurologic disease, particularly in patient populations that rely more heavily on written rather than spoken communication," the doctors wrote.
