Its almost like a tick or something, I get so frustrated until I get that particular word out that I feel like crying.

I've been fortunate to have this experience not too badly, though it definitely happens-- like 10 full minutes to remember the word "punctuation". (now remembering people's names? Awful. Even their faces throw me sometimes, which is embarrasing when I say, "oh, sorry, I thought you were someone else" and in fact it *is* the person... yes, this actually happened. Let's chalk it up to side effects, eh? Because it is. Only problem being I can't explain it that way at work because they don't know I'm *on* anything...)
I'm glad your husband is able to help you out in coming up with the word... because you're right, it's so frustrating. You *know* you know it, but it won't come!
