dont feel bad, took mine eight, there is a thread floating around here about it
How about four times in a row you give the Dr your husbands phone number? And I can honestly relate more and more about starting a conversations and talking one minute and oh what were we talking about again. They remind you and you're like I don't know. I try hard to think of it but it ain't there. Or get in the car and then wonder why you're going sometimes where ITT is you're going. I keep reading yaws post and I'm relating to them and I'm thinking I've done this stuff for years but its gotten to be on a daily basis sometimes more.

You call your neurologist "the Great and Powerful Oz". When you go to your first appointment you think that this person is going to fix/solve everything and give you the feeling that "everything is going to be just fine". Then you realize that he/she is just a person who can't really give you an answer or a good explanation and can't fix or even identify what why your brain isn't working correctly. I agree with an earlier post about why the scarecrow would even want something as troublesome as a brain.
A gallon of milk costs about fifty dollars. And seven trips to the store.
That scrap of trash you discover in your back pocket might as well be a note telling you which dumpster to dive into and search for your missing keys.

after a medicine issue you end up wandering the halls of the entire apartment building looking for your glasses. which is it's on problem because I can't see. and i live in a ten story apartment. they turned out to be in my chair in my apartment. not out in the halls or the stairs.

If you stare at shoes and say you don't know what they are but then a little while later say you do know what they are but you don't know how to put them on.
If you're babbling incoherently about things that will never make sense in a million years (like mirrors, for instance).
If you can't recognize people who you should be able to and you're wondering why they're around and why you should know them and their names.
If you're frustrated because the nurses are asking you what year it is and you can't remember, or they're asking you for your birth date.
If you read this and you laugh, and/or cry, and any of it relates to you.
If you've ever wanted to scream when you get a negative result from a test because you think they're going to think you're crazy.
If you can't remember if you took your medication or not but you really think you did and you count it out just to make sure that you did and find out that you really didn't and you've gone two hours over your schedule thinking you've taken it.
If you really want your bedtime to be super early and it's hard to explain to people who still like to go out late at night because they can't understand (and you don't find it pertinent to tell them you have E).
If you've ever had an ambulatory EEG and after you've washed and washed your hair it still looks like you've had overactive lice due to the glue.
