(((((((((GreyGoose...BINGO!!!!)))))))

For almost the past year whenever I'm trying to settle in w/
social situations, my speech starts to slur; I cannot think of the simplest words (even when I'm writing I forget temporarily how to spell the most simple words);

I don't know if it's another "mental episode" or I am truly
heading towards dementia b/c I cannot formulate sentences.
Prime example: I just got back from seeing my PsychDoc...he's very impatient, & was throwing questions at me left & right, cutting me off b/c I didn't answer fast enough.

It's really unsettling w/ me; I feel like I'm losing it; stupid; shot up w/ a quart of Demerol....etc...really like an idiot b/c I'm a nurse...I know the answers, but they just don't come out of my mouth....or if they do, they come out half-assed backwards!

What I finally did was to get a referral from my GP to see a neurologist; the neurologist gave me the referral to Speech Therapy.........I didn't want to go to my first appt. I felt stupid as hell; BUT.. I think she can really help me......it's a risk, but it's better than what I'm stuck w/ now!

Check it out! Dare to Be Great!! Peace, Dayzee9
