Yeah, makes sense. But, you know, it happens. I have that same kind of memory problem every once in a while. My grandfather used to say his brain was full, which was why he was forgetting so many things. To make room for the new stuff, he had to dump some old stuff. (There's actually some truth to that, I heard once; Peter Jennings did a story on it, and he's Canadian, so it must be true!)
Do you work at home (as opposed to outside the home)? I do, and I think I pay too much attention to all the crap that's wrong with me.
I have a cramp in my lower right side (ovaries?) since July. I've had every part ultrasounded and CT scanned and x-rayed, and nothing! But I still have it, so I'm going to have a laparoscopy.
I've had this nasty ear-clicking thing--where I do this unconscious thing with the back of my throat that makes my ears feel as though they are unclogging--since August, when I got this permanent dizzy migraine thing. I've been to the ENT and the neurologist; I've had two CT scans and a brain MRI. Nothing.
I have this strange feeling that there's a flash of neon blue light in my peripheral vision. It lasts for a quarter of a second.
My sinuses snort. I have headaches. Both hands have nerve damage from carpal tunnel and need surgery. And I have a rectal fissue that my doc wants to make sure isn't a polyp, so he wants me to have a colonoscopy--at age 39.
I feel like I am falling apart.
I also feel like if I went to a 9-5 job every day, I wouldn't have noticed any of these things!
Ain't life grand?
