IPhone 5s :: Can't Send Links From Safari Via Message (text)

I noticed lately that when I try to send a link from a web page (iOS Safari, and all up to date on the iPhone 5s) to somebody via share message (text) in Safari, I get lag after I type the contact's name in the contact box....followed by a view of old messages from several days ago. When I click send, I would sometimes hear the send sound. Now if I check my text messages, I don't see the shared link in the conversation. if I reboot the phone it works fine until a day or two later where I experience the same issue. My prior 5s has the same issue as well.
