Welcome, Ellen, good question, one I have wondered about. I have never had an IQ test, and started to wish I had a "baseline" to compare with on meds. I definitely have the word retrieval problems, which for a writer must be awful. It is annoying for me, too. I will be in the middle of a meeting and suddenly forget a word. YIKES. And like you said above, it affects simple words as well as more sophisticated ones. Don't know about other cognitive impairments, but have sometimes noticed that I can be kind of concrete and miss the point of a joke, too. But I suspect I have always had that problem.
