I am having trouble with my linear thinking.
With the treatments...I'm not surprised that you might be having trouble with linear thought or having dyslexic type symptoms.
It may have your brain chemicals off a bit, that would cause things to not fit together quite right.
Took me 15 minutes to come up with the word cup. :-P
to let you know you're not alone... although this isn't of the magnitude that you're dealing with... I suffer from migraines and have since puberty. They've gotten worse in frequency and pain since my late 20's. After being on several medications that worked for a while then would stop, after a particularly frightening headache that landed me in the emergency room this past August, my doctor put me on something else. A medication that's also prescribed as an anti-seizure med for epilepsy. (WHAT?! I don't HAVE epilepsy!) I took it hoping for any kind of relief and not wanting to relive what I went through in August.
The good news is that the frequency of the migraines has decreased. The bad news is the side effects of this med suck balls. My fingers have pins and needles almost constantly. I sleep poorly. The best and my most favorite is the cognitive disturbances that affect my word processing and speech. I forget simple words - it's like they run around my brain and I can almost catch them... but not quite! I can describe what I want to say, but can't think of the WORD for it. My speech is sometimes jumbled and garbled which is SO unlike me. It makes me feel like a bumbling idiot and for me, there's nothing worse than feeling dumb. I hate it, but the tradeoff is having searing migraine pain. :-(
*hugs* I feel for you. Just know it isn't YOU. It's the medication and that this too shall pass!
