Stroke, Brain Fog... What?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! I know it's been awile since I have logged in. Just

got a new computer and it's much nicer. It's great to read about

everyone again. Just so hard to keep up sometimes.

Anyway, someone mentioned a stroke. Well, I've never been diagnosed

or told I'm at risk (except for the migraines) but I've been having

funny brain problems that seem to ring a bell from my work years ago

with stroke patients, only my symptoms are much milder. A few weeks

ago I had a period where I just felt lousy, tired and dizzy. One

day I woke up an my hubby noticed that I had reverted to calling our

pharmacy by Revco, which has been closed for at least 10 years. They

were taken over by Eckerd here a long while ago. Even now I need to

consciously think which word to say. There are other similar lapses

of memory, forgetting to do things I always do, like hang up my

keys. The past month I've left them in the door at least 4 times.

I'm sure there is more, but those are the most bothersome

specifics. Very, VERY minor compared to lots of problems, but I

worry that it is a sign that more or worse is in store? Anyone out

there get this type of brain fog?

Thanks! Hugs! Happy New Year!!!! Deb (VA)

I used to take Prozac long ago, but haven't taken for 7-8 years. I

remember being constantly fogged then, but not like now, then it was

a general " I don't care " fog (numby juice for the brain) I see my

neuro next week maybe he will have advice or tests? Probably nothin!
