    I reckon that I am loosing the plot.:dunno:

    During the week whilst having a conversation with a couple of people, I suddenly stopped talking and couldn't even remember what on earth I was talking about, and was completely unable to speak. The harder that I tried to speak, the worse that I seemed to be. It seemed to take forever for me to regain composure and start talking again, much to my embarrassment.

    Then last night I had to read the same page of a book three times before I could register what it was that I was reading and then today whilst speaking, my sentences have been coming out back to front and have been generally mixed up. I knew that it was happening, but didn't seem to be able to control it.

    Any thoughts of what on earth is going on?:what:

    Joking aside, making an appointment may not be a bad thing, especially given how many times I have had to correct/ go through this and my original thread starter.:(

    Blimey Eddie,

    That sounds serious.:OUCH: Did you see the Doc the last time I told you to go ?

    Sounds like it could be a wiring problem in the brain. I had it once when the left & right sides fell out with each other. Couldn't work out why everything looked strange or which corner of the room I was in.

    Wasn't till I looked in the mirror that I worked it out. It got better though, I think.

      If you've got a lack of control, it might be better to get the doc to come out to you. Have you got anyone there to keep an eye on you apart from your Daughter ?

      Seeing the Doc. is probably a good idea, but tiredness, stress? too much on the mind at one time can all bring on these symptoms so I wouldn't worry, in fact that would make it worse. Hope all is OK.

        I think this is a the best idea (nothing but from Ziggy:sunny:) also if you can't get a hold of your own doctor then get on the blower to NHS direct now! and then see what they say they will get a doctor to ring you back within the hour!

          Thank you all.:)

          I reckon that I am just over tired and very stressed.

          Ziggy, I'm afraid that I have zero faith in the doctors at our local surgery, but will make an appointment tomorrow. :thumb:

          Mind you that won't be easy.. last time.. I turn up at the reception..

          Me... "Can I make an appointment please?"
          Receptionist.. "We don't make appoinments, other than on the day, and we are booked up. You will need to come back at 8.00AM tomorrow."
          Me...It's okay, I'll just take myself of to A&E and say that you sent me as you were too busy!

          With that, they suddenly had a space!:what:

            Thanks.:)

            Do you know just how tempting that is. I feel as though I have been hit with a brick today, I'm completely knackered. The problem is that I just can't handle not doing anything, and need to do things just to keep my sanity.:)

            Right, I'm off to bed.

            I know how you feel, even when laid up with a chest complaint, I built a superheater & a 360psi pump in the armchair:DOH:

            Have a good nights rest Eddie:dbgrtmb:
