Brain Fog And Memory Problem Posted: 02-13-06 05:45am
Six weeks ago (i remember the exact day) I
was shopping with my my girlfriend (i am
male 34yrs old) when suddenly I felt my
head become cloudy and my vision became
slightly cloudy as if there was a film
over my eyes. Since then I have noticed
that my short term memory has become
really bad. This is very worrying as I
used to have an excellent memory. My
concentration is no longer as good as it
was. I sometimes use the wrong words and
have problems remembering the names of
things. I also started getting headaches
especially behind my eyes. In six weeks I
have gone from being a confident, outgoing
person to a reclusive bed ridden person
with no interest in anything. I have also
been experiencing temperature
abnormalities( my left feet colder than
the right)
i have also had muscular pain in my upper
arm, neck, shoulder and chest. I have had
several blood test all came back normal.
My gp has written to a neuro but it may
take months to see one. Does anyone has a
clue as to what is going on especially
regarding the sudden and dramatic onset of
symptoms? I was of the impression that a
vascular disorder such as a stroke is
probably the only condition that can occur
this sudddenly but I was told by the
doctor that I did not have a stroke as I
did not have any other symptoms like
numbness or slurred speech. All advice
really appreciated.
