Hi, as some of you may already know, I am in the "trying to find out" stage and having many symptoms that are frighteneing me.
I was wondering if any of you have, the only way I could describe it, a "stupid feeling" like as if you are not as "sharp"? I guess I feel like this face

Also, sometimes it feels like my mind gets "antsy" like a rushed feeling, I don't know really how else to describe it. It feels like my mind gets anxious. Does that make sense?

Would love to hear back form you!

hi julia,

you just described me to a "t". i am in limbo land too. i do go through periods of the same feelings you are having. the last time it lasted about a month. i felt overwhelmed, anxious, and a hard time remembering. i consider myself pretty "clear minded" and a great multi-tasker

, but when i started experiencing this, i couldn't even "map out" in my head directions to a place that I had been to before - it scared me and i started writing myself notes and printing out maps from the internet just to feel like i had a grasp on things. it did eventually subside and i'm ok.........for now. hang in there and stay here for great support and just to have people listen to you who understand. i'm glad i found this board, its been very helpful.

you will find many people on here dx'd and undx'd who struggle with this same feeling. wishing you well days, a clear mind, and answers to your questions.

blessings,
michelle

ooops! I forgot to ask what kind of headaches do you get? Does it feel like pressure, as if an elephant is sitting on your head?

Thanks again!

Michelle- That's exactly why my vehicle MUST have navigation! I find even with that I sometimes have trouble.

WOW! did you reply fast or what?

Have you seen a neuro yet?

Be well,

my headaches usually feel either like someone has stuck a 2 inch diameter pole right thru one temple to the other. the migraines i get usually start with a spasm on the leftside of the back of my neck that goes up and over my head thru the left eye and the left side of my nose. usually an ice pack on my neck, 2 Flexeril, and 2 excedrin and i'm good the next morning.

hope this helps.

yes, i found a good neuro who has really been the first doc to really be concerned about my sx's and willing to go the extra mile to try and get to the root of them and what's causing it.

I had been sent to him by my rheumatologist to conduct a nerve test (EMG) and it was negative and he told me to come see him if i ever wanted to investigate my sx's further. i took him up on that 2 years later last Oct. Glad I did.
