I'm on methotrexate and sometimes i feel like i'm getting alzeimers. The day after i take it, the fog moves in and i don't think clearly. I don't know if it's the meds or the reumatoid.
Do any on you ever get that spaced out feeling?
donn
Yes! I used to get that alot! I used to keep forgetting things that I had to do or bring, or just sometimes felt "out of it". I really don't know whether it's the meds or RA. It's hard to say because I started to take mtx when my RA got bad so it could be for either reason that results in the spacey-ness. lol.I had thought it was the darvocett but I don't take that every day am I am feeling spacey 24/7
Welcome to the dumb~dumb club. You're amoung good company Sweetie
I have learned to keep a notebook for work so that I don't forget things that have to be done then I just mark each item off when it is done.. Sometimes I can't remember my name, by the way what is it????
I get agitated for no reason sometimes and yell, then I feel bad about it. I feel like I have lost my head of household standing and I am not contributing to my share of the expenses. I am expensive to care for as anyone knows with this wonderful disease. Even with insurance.... By the way I finally have my Judicial Hearing 9/19/2005! I have been waiting 2 years for it. RBW56 - Glad to hear you are finally getting your hearing soon!! I hope it goes in your favor! What you are saying is the aggitated and yelling I do is from RA? See, when I am in the car with hubby he always has to have the radio on. Many days it bothers me. It makes me feel very nervous and irritable to hear all the "noise"; to me it is just a bunch of noise. Then there are some days the music just does not even bother me. I kinda space-out or ignore it, but not meaning to. I mostly get aggitated when we are in the car when he has his music on or when my daughter is talking so much and I can hardly understand what she is saying. So I tend to yell at them because they have aggitated me and made me very upset. Hubby thinks I am being a B-word when I act that way in the car, like I mean to get annoyed by the music he listens to, but I do not. I try to not complain, but he just does not understand. When I begin to feel like it is aggitating me, I will tell him and ask if we can turn the radio off or turn it down to where he can hear it, but not hear it if you are talking...BUT he thinks I am doing it to be an ass. So he won't do either, and will just turn it up even louder. Man this turned out long...LOL.
