Macro Focus Not Working As Well As It Used To.

The manual indicates the camera is able to take macros as close as an inch or so from subject.  I am unable to focus until I am a few feet away, and even then I am unable to maintain a clear focus.  It comes in then if I don't time it exactly right, blurs before I get a shot off.  I took a few in December when I first owned it, so did I change a setting or what?  Ive tried many settings changes but nothing seems to help.
