I have been feeling really how can i put this "Not my self". Been feeling like i am loopy not feeling good. forgetting the easiest things. Sometimes I feel like I am walking around like a zombie. No matter how much sleep I get. Can't get my words out right when i get upset. They sound the way i want them 2 in my head but they don't come out the same way. I feel as if I am drifting away like a balloon sometimes. I keep repeating and repeating and repeating myself cause I don't remember if i told someone something. I feel like a balloon drifting away. Its almost as if I am on something. But I am not. It scares me. I know that it scares my hubby 2. he gets so concerned that if i am not feeling right that he should stay home from home from work. I tell him i will be fine call a on call dr and ask him if its alright 2 take an extra this or that 2 help me. it feels as if someone else has control over me. like i am a puppet.

I also hate the headaches they hurt so bad sometimes so bad that they make me cry cause i am in that much pain. I know that if i go in i will only get a shot and the dr's will say here u go all better. :blowup2:
 
Hi

Ok so you have had a hard time of things lately by the sound of it and thats what this site is great for, to vent!!

I would love to be able to help so can you please give some more info-

>are you epileptic
>on meds ?
>what , how, when did this start?

any extra info that you can give about your dilemma would be great as there are heaps of people on this forum who have been where you are and know how difficult it is when you are confused and afraid.

Definitely worth talking to your doctor about. Whether it's the meds or seizures, your neurologist should know. If it's meds, and adjustment may be in order.

Do you keep a seizure/symptom diary? That might help identify if there are particular factors that have been contributing to your brain fog. Are you low on sleep? Have you been ill? Has there been a change in your medications or supplements? Are you eating and sleeping properly? If you can make a note of what's going on, that may help get a handle on it. Hope you feel better soon, and that your doctor can help.
