Using our brain worses our symptoms

[Guest guest]

Whether it is a truth or not, I wouldn't know - however, I help my grand daughters on a regular basis with their homework; algebra, essays, etc. I use to do it five days a week (stopped doing it every day about three years ago)...By the end of the week, I was in a state of 'uglies". I could not think at all...could not do a simple fraction. I could not speak coherently. Pain was so out of control that there was no way to describe it.

NOW: I only help on Thursdays, and I get the same way it USE to take me a week to reach. What use to take a week now only takes about two hours...and I am a wreck. Last night was horrible. I am trying to recover today and was not intending to open any of my posts until I saw the heading....

It might not be a medical truth, but I am sure there is the anecdotal truth. I use to be able to teach algebra and I can barely help with it now. It is similar to the "tip of the tongue" ....it is on the 'tip of my brain' and I cannot get to it...and then that leads to frustration and then to complete breakdown. When I am in this state, it feels as though I am having some sort of break down.

Anyhow....my two cents' worth.
