Re: Brain Fog/confusion question

[Guest guest]

Hi a, I do get the brain fog, Im not sure I got it right away

though, Im not really sure, I just know because of it, it took me along

time to see the doctor about my symptoms because they all occur usually

the same times. Its when Im feeling good I realize Ive just been

through something, its when I feel well I realize how badly my mind had

been operating if that makes sense. I loose words alot and it drives me

crazy, its the same for me, if I get interupted I can loose what I was

saying. It is so strange, I use to have such a good memory, and

remember things so well, now I must write things down and remember to

check that.

I know that most, if not all of us are familiar with the brain

fog/confusion issue. I have a question for those who experience this.

How quickly did yours come on? --- Was it gradual or was it sudden?

Did you know it was there for years, but it didn't cause too many

problems?

I ask because I have known for awhile that it was getting a little

harder to remember things, but I chalked it up to how busy I was with

raising 5 kids (add my husband and father and it was 7 kids -lol).

However, since my flare started 2 months ago, I have noticed it VERY

bad. I lose words and have to search my brain for them, I lose my

train of thought in mid sentence. If I get interrupted, sometimes I

don't remember what was previously talked about (today I was saying

something to my husband and one of the kids asked a question - I

answered it and then turned back to him - he asked " what did you

say " - I just looked at him for a few seconds, smiled, and completely

serious asked " were we talking? " ). Most times if I don't write

something down immediately, it's gone from my head.

I know that the fog affects us tremendously.... BUT I'm kinda

wondering if I should ask for a CT of the head to make sure nothing

is growing (actually have had a couple between 2 1/2 - 4 years ago

for migraines and they were normal) in my head.

It will sure make me feel better if some of you have experienced

the " all of the sudden " worsening or noticing of the fog. Sometimes I

feel like I'm losing my mind and other times I feel like I've already

lost it - LOL.

a, hahaha, I was laughing so hard about the cant remember what we

cant remember, haha. Ive actually even tried to put mine off to

hormones maybe, but really Im relieved to see others appear to have it

as bad as me. Ive wondered at times if im headed into early seniality

however that is spelled. I swear I grab my face with both hands more

and more often lately trying to remember something, like it will help

or something, haha. I really hate that getting stuck on a word though,

that one just makes me crazy really

Deb,

Yeah it makes sense. I only have a few good hours at most lately and

it sure is easy to tell when the fog rolls out and I can think again.

With so many things going wrong at once, it is definitely hard to

tell the doctor about them all. If we can even remember them all.

Sounds funny huh " we can't remember to say that we can't remember " -

LOL.

I found/find that just not trying really hard and telling myself.... " I will

remember " helps me to remember... it may be a bit later......but that is ok.. I

tell me that. It does help. dash

Deb,

I get stuck on one word and my " helpful " hubby starts saying

different words to help me remember. And with every word he says, my

mind focuses on that instead of what I was saying and soon.... its

gone. I want to yell " STOP IT!!!! " - he just says he's trying to be

helpful. He does it when I forget what I was going to say as well.

He'll start " was it about the computer, the kids, your dad,

shopping,..... " ---Like that is going to help someone in a fog to

remember!!!

Oh a I hear you :)

My husband is really quite wonderful when he is home, he works away so

he is gone alot of the time, but he is so helpful and wonderful when he

is home. He hasnt tried to figure out my words yet, haha, he may be too

afraid to try that one on me, he is patient though and waits till I can

figure it out, if i cant, then I will just tell him later what it was.

Hugs
