Cognition Stories

Most of us call it brain fog.
Menieres affects our cognitive abilities and each of us have different experiences that fall under that category.

I thought it would be interesting to share our stories back and forth.
Might even get a few chuckles, .

So today I'm drying dishes, etc, and I put one of the small pots in the refrigerator instead of the cabinet and the family had fun when my husband went in the fridge and found it.

 

BTW, in the database on page 2, is the report on cognition.

 

I hope I'm not the only one who does this!

I copied a joke for quotes. It took me forever to put it on paper with misspelling and typing the wrong words even though I just read it about 10 times to get it right.
What was worse was typing it here in quotes because the same thing happened.
Now I've had to read this multiple times to make sure I got it right.

I'm not experiencing vertigo attacks, so this kind of thing freaks me out.

We can all relate to more things people post.

 

I wonder if this has happened to anyone else. Funny afterwards, not so much while it's happening.

We go to the mall which is always busy this time of year.
We come out and I can't remember where I parked.
(Anyone else?)
Get to the car and the clicker won't open the car.
Wrong car? Nope
Use the key and that doesn't work either.
Call AAA who says they can be there in an hour and tow the car.
Call Huns to come with an extra set of keys and heard blah, blah, blah, I must be doing something wrong. So I hung up.
Mo,nets later I checked my purse and found another set of keys.
Apparently I was using keys for daughters car.
Problem solved.

Cognition, my friends, cognition.

 

Today I started Thanksgiving prep.
I know where everything in my kitchen is.
I swear every time I went to get so,ething, I went to the wrong cabinet and the same way when putting things away.


Come on guys, I know you read this

Share your stories.
This is part of the cognition effects of Menieres or I'm going crazy.

 

I think so many of us have a lot to contribute to this thread. I think the stories will be very interesting and let others know it's not just them.

BD, real classy! LMAO
Deadbolts, ROFLMAO

 

ROTFLMAO!!

Buzzzzzzzz

 

I swear, I never lose my glasses.
If I take them off, I always have the same place I put them.

Well tonight I lost my glasses.
I traced back my steps from where I keep them through the kitchen and then into the two bedrooms, bathroom and I still couldn't find them.
I then stood by the kitchen mentally retracing again and I noticed the voice message blinking on the phone.
There were my glasses by the phone.
I last spoke to my mother and had taken the glasses off to massage my head because her conversation was giving me a headache as they are wont to. LOL

These things seem to be happening more and more even though my Menieres symptoms are in remission except for occasionally and that is ALWAYS due to a stressful situation. I ride them out. The last one was an hour. So when I get hit, it doesn't last long and aren't as severe as episodes before Acyclovir.

Anyway, I found my glasses.
Anyway, now if it ever happens again at look by the phone because my mom calls a lot.

 

I went to the Drs today.

The appt. is for tomorrow.

and they couldn't fit me in

I don't like that, I might look for another dr

 

When I'm on the phone and someone in the house starts talking to me too, I go nuts and I can't hear either one.
I usually go into another room.
Then when I get off, I have to explain how RUDE it is to try to have a conversation whilst someone is on the phone and I can't hear them anyway.
Over and over and yet it continues.

Il be speaking and people have a habit of starting a different conversation with someone else.
Again, RUDE. By then I've lost my entire train of thought!

Age, hmmm, I'm not far behind so I expect mine will be worse with my current cognition bloopers.

But, I do love these stories and I wish more would post their storie here.
