RE: Speech problems and cortisol weaning?

[Guest guest]

I drive my husband crazy becasue I'm always stopping in the middle of a

sentence and it takes me anywhere form 10-30 seconds to get started again.

My kids also play " What's the word I'm looking for " with me now. My friends

are very used to me stopping mid sentencs and saying " What were we talking

about? " A favorite saying amoung all of us now is " Oooohhhh! Something

shiny! "

I can relate. I do that too. Or switch topics abruptly because I don't

remember what we were talking about. Or walking in a room a million times

because I have something to get, but once I get to the room forget, leave

and remember again, the go back and play the game all over again.

I am meeting up with a friend who I used to work with in the early 90s and

we have reconnected via email. Anyway, she hasn't seen me since I was a

skinny energetic person who could communicate very well. I am nervous about

getting together because I think she will be shocked at how I have trouble

with verbal communication. My writing is much better (as bad as it is). Oh,

well, I guess I will have to fill her in on all the health problems and how

they affect me. Although people often do not understand. I know when it

first started getting bad I would stumble UP the stairs and get very clumsy

then at a different job I started slurring my speech and there were rumors I

was drunk. I gave up drinking any alcohol years before because my liver

couldn't take even small sips so it was kind of sad and funny at the same

time.

My handwriting has always been awful so I can't blame it on low

adrenals.....or can I? I wonder. My birth mother has had problems with her

thyroid all her life. She may have also had problems with adrenals and it

may have affected me in utro....
