Then also i dont reconize people i should.. like family i grew up with, but dont see as often as i would like. or at work today reconized someone i barely knew then turned my head and looked back and it was like looking at something for the first time. It didnt look familiar at all. It seems to be getting more frequently and i feel like i am getting dementia to be honest, and i am getting scared. My neuro thinks there migranes and the topamax is at 100mg. freaking me out..just want to make sure thats its not migranes.. please help! confused in crps land!!
Hi Babs, A lot of us have this groping for words, confusion and it is frustrating. There has been information on NT about the Limbic System of the brain that controls our short term memory, judgment decisions, etc. that explains why we have this. Hope this helps explain our missing of words while speaking. Take care and we are happy to have you with your NT family, your friend, loretta with big soft hugs
