Perfect timing...
Great timing on this...
Been too mortified to share this with anyone, other than my closest friend...
I just started a new med - and it's a patch I'm supposed to place on my HIP. Well, yesterday morning, I put it on my "hip" - and then last night, at 9pm, when I went to take it off - it occurred to me - "I don't think this is my hip" - and I seriously could NOT remember for the life of me - if that part of my body was my hip. I was totally freaking out - not sure what to do. Not upset b/c I may have misplaced the patch - but b/c I didn't know my body parts!
I had a meltdown of sorts - I'm totally freaked out by this still...and don't know what to do. Turns out I put it on my thigh. Duh. I even went online and looked up thigh and hip to try to determine which was which (I had confused them). And of course, any time I tell people that I forget things or whatever - they all say "oh yeah, I do that" - and several of them are in their 50s - going thru menopause or whatever. Well, I'm just 32 - this isn't normal.
Maybe it's from stress - or the MS - I don't know - either way - I'm freaked out by this - and didn't even know who to tell - and then funny (or not so funny) enough, this thread showed up today.
I don't think it's normal for me to suddenly not know which body part is which. Like it didn't even occur to me to think "okay, hands on your hips" or anything like that. Didn't even think of that one. Had no idea that I had put it in wrong place or that I confused the part until I took it off and looked at it and thought - is that my hip - yeah, it is - the thigh is in back, right? Uh, no...the thigh is in front.
What's wrong with me?
