Cannabis has taken a part of my brain

Can't say that they have, BG, but I have a neuro appt. on the 20th, so I'll be sure to suggest that :thumbsup:

Ancient crone as I am ;) , I'm a bit forgetful too. I figured out what to do about it- I handle it like I do shopping. I start a list about a week before I see the doc/go shopping. I keep my list on the fridge with a pen tied to it, so it's easy to use. Just jot down whatever you think about that might be a good question. Take the list with you! - Granny:hippy:

That's really weird. It's never happened to me.

I can't recall that ever happening to me. The only part of my brain cannabis took from me, is my frontal giveafuck lobe.

I looked at him, and was like "Oh, gee, THANKS..."

They found a few bilateral lesions on the white matter and a few mysterious indentations of my dura and pia mater (during an MRI in 2004 for ataxia caused by a reaction to Flexeril), thought it was MS, but that wasn't the case. I still can't help but think about whether or not they're causing my problems, but so far, none of my doctors can figure it out.

Maybe a odd form of dyslexia, Chowder? Stress, maybe?

It wouldn't be stress. I have little stress in my life at the moment.

My mother once told me that this sometimes happens to her as well. It could be a form of dyslexia I suppose, but it's not so bad that it effects my daily life. It does take longer for me to comprehend what I just read. I read it, but I don't take in the words. I've always had a case of ADHD where I read the words, but don't picture what the words are saying.

I don't know, but it's weird sometimes. I'm guessing I do it because of lack concentration.

this has never happened to me however i notice my short term memory fluctuates despite the fact i havent smoked in about 6 months...the things usually come to me later when i don't care as much

Yes, happens me. All of time.

Yup, and also have a tendency to mix up past and present tenses.
