Neurologic
2008-02-07
Lately i forget things. Simple things, like preparing the potatoes for dinner. I know i did, as they're boiling in the pan, but i can't recall i did.
Those are just small things, routine-jobs. Of course one sometimes forget. But a week ago i couldn't sleep. I got downstairs, read a book sitting on the couch. I looked next to me, and saw a burning cigarette lying on the couch... while i couldn't recall at all i took a cigarette, or lighted it, or putted it on the couch.. Anyhow, it scared the hell out of me.
At this point i must mention other things that happened to me. About 2 years ago i had a burn-out. The doctor prescripted me anti-depressiva, and it took me over 8 months to finally stop taking them. Also, at December 17 i got involved in a car crash. Nothing dramatic, but getting hit by a huge BMW when driving a Twingo, can scare a person. Fortunately that day i had an appointment with my chiropractor anyway, and she took most of the stress out of my neck. All together, it was no big deal for me.
But considering these things, the doctor advised me to have a neurologic scan. So next week i can make an appointment in the hospital with a neurologist, and we'll see what happens. The doctor also told me that 9 out of 10 times there is nothing to tell out ouf the scan, but she wants me to do this, so we are sure there's nothing seriously wrong.
I'm not that concerned about it. I guess it's an after-effect from the car crash, or even from stopping taking anti-depressiva. Perhaps in combination with the classical spring weariness, as i have concentration problems also. We'll see.
