Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Deb how long have you been of tx. I've be off since oct, and I have gotten to the point where the fog is still there and isn't getting anybeter. But sure is better than when on tx.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I don't think the brain fog ever clears totally and gets worse with age. It's like I've dropped down many IQ points and straining to remember correctly what I've learned and my experiences in the past. I have good days and bad days and it's not just confusion but like I'm in a semiconscious state. Don't laugh but at times I need to double check before leaving the house - both shoes match got pants and shirt on and not inside-out got everything. I usually do forget something and need to hoof it back upstairs. Driving is a challenge some days and I'm straining to concentrate more. God or someone up there must be watching over me very closely cause at times I blow through stop signs at crowed intersections and loss track of periods of time and don't remember driving the entire time. It's like I'm on autopilot. Many times I won't drive with my grandkids in the car and make Mel drive especially when I'm very tired. I think people now recognize me and my car and get the hell out of my way. As you can see AOL had a much better spell check than Yahoo. I now get my D's and G's confused. Figure that one out. Some days I'm checking my email messages over and over again to make sure they make sense and some days it's a breeze to get out my thoughts. You can tell those days I usually post like crazy. I don't have ADD and wondering how many people with HCV are also diagnosed with it now and their symptoms are mostly related to their HCV. Love and Hugs.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Definitely - I have much better focus at work (where there are a lot of distractions), and at home I'm able to do things I haven't done in years, like concentrate on reading. A few years back I had seriously began to suspect some sort of adult-onset ADD or something because I had become so scatterbrained. I had gone from being someone who remembered EVERYTHING without ever writing it down, to someone who needed constant lists, email reminders, cell phone alarms, you name it to remind me when I had appointments or meetings. I had also periodically had episodes of waking up one morning feeling really fuzzy-headed and confused, and it seemed my vision would also be affected somehow and get a bit blurry - these would last several days and then clear up. Hasn't happened since the surgery but these were not frequent, so too soon to say if they're gone for certain. Of course some of the confusion/lack of focus could have been caused by the stress of many years of knowing I had an illness but not knowing what to do about it - but I think that was only part of it. > > > > > Hello, > > > > This email message is a notification to let you know that > > a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the hyperaldosteronism > > group. > > > > File : /Adrenalectomy Stories/Successful Stories/ > > msmith1928adrenalectomystory.pdf > > Uploaded by : msmith_1928 > > Description : Updated successful adrenalectomy story. > > > > You can access this file at the URL: > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hyperaldosteronism/files/Adrenalectomy%20Stories/S\ uccessful%20Stories/msmith1928adrenalectomystory.pdf > > > > To learn more about file sharing for your group, please visit: > > http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/original/members/web/ > > index.html > > Regards, > > > > msmith_1928 > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
