The Confusion & Memory Loss

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.
