The people Jo Beth worked with had been very supportive and
accepting about her occasional jerks during meetings and
presentations.  Fate must have been disappointed, because she
added a little extra, to make meetings run even smoother:

Jo Beth lost her language.  It began with wrong words.  She be
speaking, up at a whiteboard drawing system flows, when she'd
notice that the audience had done a double-take.  She wouldn't
know why, until someone gently asked "Do you know what you
just said?".  Then, she'd find out that, when she thought she
was saying "We take this file and..." she instead had said "We
take this reindeer and..."  

Wow, Fate-- Way to go!  Points for creativity!

But, apparently, not good enough.  Soon, Fate decided that,
sometimes, no words would come.  Jo Beth couldn't speak.

Doctors call it "expressive
aphasia".  (Probably because it's
too hard to say "word loss".)
Lupus aphasia is listed as a symptom on this helpful site.
