Exclamation Wierd Mental States!!!!

Hey All,

Over the past few months (diag Prob MS) I have been feeling less and less clear headed. Not to the point where I cant function, but I always feel like I had a few drinks....(didn't even enjoy it).

Sometimes my vision seems so wierd, like I am detached from my body. Feels unreal some of the time. Some days are worse than others. Makes me wonder if I am actually going insane.

It even fluctuates throughout the day, usually I am more clear in the evenings.

Anyone else experience this day to day altogether spaced out feeling?

I started smoking again after quitting for 6 months. (I know, I know) I wonder if this has anything to do with this feeling getting gradually worse? I also havent been eating real well, and just moved my entire apartment by myself. Some of my other symptoms seem to be coming back too. Any thoughts?

PLease help! I am tired of feeling like a dope. Sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed by just a little bit of work.

J1P

Re: Wierd Mental States!!!!

I have problems like that too. I can't focus or keep my thoughts in order. I feel really spacy sometimes. Somedays are really bad. I can't remember what I was doing, saying, thinking, etc... I have a hard time with words. I can't find the right ones to say and end up saying the most ridiculous things. My kids tend to think it is pretty fun. HAHA!

Re: Wierd Mental States!!!!

yep, I have that too,
Here is what I have been doing to combat it, I drink alot of water, I have bottles of water all over my house, I also got a book or a few books on eating healthy, one book is called Healing with whole foods, these books explain to you what food does to your body, like fast food is not the best choice all the time, and fresh fruits and veggies esp. ones that are grown where you live are the best to eat, vitamins are important too, how eating meat effects your body, it is very interesting to read about food and what it does to you.

I myself have always thought as Chocolate as it's own food group,
and fast food, last fall I had a 2 month relapse and could not cook, but I could drive and I ate lot's of fast food.

When I eat healthy, Whole Wheat bread, brown rice, steamed veggies, fruit, yogurt, raisins, nuts, and water I don't feel that cottony head and blurry vision as much, and I actually feel better, I am more productive, I can think a little more clearly. I mean I still have all my symptoms, forgetting words, numbness in arm, stiffness all over, it's just that the day seems better for me.

Smoking, I smoked for 25 years and I quit 6/1/01 and I would go back to smoking in a SECOND if it was healthy and just1primate I am thinking that smoking w/d make you feel more crummy, I know it would me and that is what prevents me from smoking, it is a hard habit to break, but if I can, then anyone can.

In my research, I have found that when people get dx'd with a illness, some start looking for ways to improve their life, and learning about food is something that I have found to be a great help for me

Re: Wierd Mental States!!!!

problem is more like...

You know that feeling when you first wake up in the morning? That groggy, dry eyed feeling. I am like that most of the day. Smoking actually seems to clear it up a bit. Wierd. Although I am not sure if it is making everything else worse.

I can relate...I'm also a smoker...I'm with you, I'm trying to quit, it's just I'm apparently not trying hard nor am I putting in the effort right now..

It's almost like an instaneous thing with me...I get the groggy/doped up feelings when I'm not even thinking of anything, so it's not like I forget my what I'm doing, saying etc; like when I was washing my hands in the bathroom, and all of a sudden had that drunk feeling... It went away after I stared in the mirror and concentrated on "being normal." Not like we'd have to concentrate on things like that.
