I'm back for your thoughts again guys....
I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent and articulate. My job is full time administration type work using spreadsheets and communicating to all levels of the workforce and involves a lot of interruptions which has always driven mad but I cope.
For the last few weeks I've been struggling to keep abreast of everything. I don't retain information well and always refer to notes and records rather than answering a question right away but recently I've found it hard to stay focussed on any task and am struggling to recall things which I really should remember. I've had a few alarming and embarrassing events where I've gone totally blank to the point where I've had to apologise because stalling hasn't been enough to bring things back.
I'm finding myself particularly foggy in work and I don't know if I'm allowing it to happen because after 10 years the job is loosing its spark, or if I don't feel it so much in my free time because I'm not undertaking as many mental tasks at home.
I'm making shocking typing errors which I can't see for looking too, but from what I've read from you guys, we're all in the same boat there!
I'm taking Plaquenil and Prednisolone and up to this point I've only had joint and blood involvement (which has settled down a lot since my last post). I'm terrified of going doolally and I'm wondering how on earth will I know if this is something to take seriously or if I'm being a bit blonde? (No offence meant to the blondes out there!)
Regards,
Freya
