Today was strange and a bit frightening. I started my morning by working from home. Around 10:30 AM I started to get a headache. I knew that that Prednisone taper would eventually catch up to me! I called my husband to tell him about my headache and it was like my mind completely went blank. I barely remember calling him at all. All I remember is that I was having a great deal of trouble forming thoughts and sentences and I felt very confused, overwhelmed, and dizzy. I think I freaked him out. To be honest, though, I freaked myself out. I kept stammering and restarting the same sentence over and over again. It felt almost like an out-of-body experience. I figured the best thing to do was to sleep it off.
I napped for a few hours and then apparently spoke to my husband on the phone again. This is yet another conversation I don’t remember having. When he got home from work, he had to physically show me on his phone’s call log that we had a five minute conversation this afternoon. I feel fine now as I’m writing this, but I’m still a little freaked out from earlier. Confusion is one thing – I’ve been having moments of confusion and times I haven’t been able to concentrate for weeks, but memory loss?! Hopefully that doesn’t happen again.
