With posting! I went to post my Halloween costume pics on another thread this afternoon and got confused as to the process, though I have done so MANY times. It is a stark reminder my cognition issues are slowly getting worse! I look like the picture of health, unless I have a flare-up of another med issue!😐

I recently lost a COMPUTER that I STILL have yet to find,  misplace things throughout the day, and can no longer cook when no one is home as I have left the stove on SEVERAL times!  Comprehending measurements when baking is a bit of challenge most of the time!😔 When I travel, family members ALWAYS make certain I am checked in!

I am taking a break from frequent postings for a bit, but will be reading mostly because it is starting to require agreat deal of time and mental energy trying to monitor threads😊 

I went in search of my old forum friend again on the other board site and it was a topic of discussion there.They simply do not know what it is like living with the fear, knowing that one day, things will likely be much worse if the questionable diagnosis is correct! I HOPE they never do! I am still praying it is related to another med issue I have.

My apologies for the confusion with the wording.❤️ I have a diagnosis and take medication nightly, but I stay somewhat in denial hoping and praying it is wrong, and another reason is found for the worsening issues. That is why I call it questionable.😐

Thank you for your support, and I will take your thoughtful suggestions into consideration regarding chatting!❤️

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@SandySparkles.  I hope you have already or will soon discuss this issue with your doctor.  The sooner, the better.

Your posting shows no decline in mental abilities.  Your verbal skills are good.  You have the skill to change color and fonts.  

If I were you, I would stop the lengthy responses to each poster and just indicate that you saw and liked the responses.

@SandySparkles  You need to take care of your self first and foremost.

I Marvel that you consistently responded to so many posts as you have! There would not be enough hours in a day for me to do what you do!  Just to know you are there to share in the joy of responses as we ALL do with the occasional note and heart to let us know you're there will be great.

Please be as Well as you can be.

Your upbeat, cheerful posts will be greatly missed! Your posts do not indicate that you are having difficulties so don't be hard on yourself.

I do not know what your specific situation is but as someone who suffers with Lupus brain fog, I understand that struggling for the right words and focus are difficult at times. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...remember to be as kind to yourself as you are to others! ❤️

I have enjoyed all your posts Sandy Sparkles and I hope you are okay and get better. That is the scariest thing about getting old, not knowing what medical issues are to come.

@SandySparkles  Again, I'm sorry to hear of your health issues and struggles.  I remember reading not long ago that you had some but didn't realize some had to do with mental clarity.

I noticed that you do tend to reply in detail to each poster.  That in itself can be draining and not necessary.  You can always acknowledge a post with a simple, "Thanks for your comment" and move on.

I hope and pray that it's just a phase of perhaps anxiety but not a serious health issue for you.  I can say that I often forget or can easily find myself getting confused about some things when my mind isn't totally there or I'm feeling anxious about something.

Best wishes to you.

@ SandySparkles. Your health is your first concern. Your posts are wonderful and I for one as many others look forward to your next one. However as I said, your health comes first and if you and/or your family feels it necessary to consult with your physician please do so.  Take a break and just check in with your forum friends on occasion to let us know how you are doing. God Bless !
