What a wonderful letter you wrote, Rapunzel. Thank for for spending so much time. Your list has some familiar items on it, or very similar. Let me think..

Talking slowly and thickly, like my tongue is fat and my saliva pasty - my mother does this and I HATE it.
Ruminating - things done wrong or not done.
Forgetting things - really gone, like amnesia. Someone might refer to a recent conversation and I do not recall it at all. Or other things. At least I can save money and re-read old books.
Music in my head when I wake up. I have actually been able to play some later on my fiddle, but all are forgotten now. Mostly they are very clear acoustic hallucinations of 60's rock, when I was a teen.
People get weird, scary, ugly looking.
Places, like certain houses, get evil auras that I don't see, but can feel.
Struggle with tasks that involve sequences of events.
Walking slowly.
Insomnia, but craving to hide out in bed and fearing it for the long miserable nights.
Crabbiness, although I don't really percieve it, I get feedback from others that it true.
High anxiety, esp in the evening.
No appetite until I eat, then I can't stop.
Sick, twisting, wringing sensation that feels physical, but is mental and has no focal point.

It seems this list became more than just prodrome stuff. It jsut sneaked up on me and grabbed on tight this time around. I don't know what I could have done different.

Oh. Gotta go. My p-doc just called to check up on me and I am going to find a private place to call back.
