Mari,
Thank you. It makes me feel better that I am not the only one who has problems going out in to public. You know I have passed out like 10-12 times in public and fell straight back and hit my head so hard each time that I have had multiple concussions and had people all around me and the paramedics coming. This passing out thing has been diagnosed as hypoglycemia. It has really given me a problem with being in public. I hate it. I used to be such an adventurous person. Now going to the grocery store is like a major accomplishment. Now I am totally brain damaged. I can't remember things. I have to keep lists of things so I can remember what music I like, what food I like etc.
I have my second appointment tomorrow for the Neuropsychological testing so I am hoping that they will be able to help me. I will be there all day so I probably won't talk to you guys tomorrow if I am too tired. I will let you know how it goes. Pray for me guys. I am scared. It is terrifying to have your memory gone. I am afraid they are gonna lock me up in the mental home.
That is good advise on not stopping the benzo's abruptly. I did that with Soma and ended up in the hospital so I know you have to be careful about stopping.
Thanks,
Brain
