My brain doesn't always work, my family says it wasn't the electrical accident. HA! HA!
I have noticed that when I get tired I really can't remember things even simple things.
Also when I,m tired my body hurts lots worse, all my brain can think about is laying down and resting. My brain has trouble doing 2 thoughts at the same time even when I'm not tired.
When I can't think I just laugh and tell people it's a senior moment. They don't understand how I feel when this happens, I really can't remember!
I know other people, now and than, can't think of things but my is all day long and worse when Im tired, lots worse.
How does everyone else cope with this or do you?

yeah i get a accused alot of not having a brian that works either, mine from an electrical injury also. i know when i am in alot of pain it ceases to work and when i am tired the same but most of the time it is both and gee whiz i do not even think there is a brain wave working... i always use humor to make it through things i always have long before i even got injuried, you know this is the only damn thing that this injury has not taken away from me....but you know when i had an mri and so forth for my brain and they seen one in there i was so elated hell i thought maybe i could do a cartwheel but then i was afraid of landing on the thing and they just found out i had a brain in there... lol

Hey Lee, I just turned 31 & I've had the memory problem for the past 9-12mos, I can't remember what you just said to me or what I just said or didn't say to you, especialy if more than one thing is going on. This was really bad for work, since I work in the dental field, I went to a neuropsych Dr & he did a battery of tests. My IQ was 113 & memory was better half hour after he told me what to remember. He did diagnose me with Post Tramatic Stress Disorder & said that this does effect your recent memory. I was very happy to know that I was not loseing my mind!! Monica

hi\
I do that all the time
I can't rem. and I fell like I am dumb.
I really don't understand it is names for me people I have know a long time. I just forget there names. And then somebody will say well maybe you relly don't know them or something like that.
I forget what my husband say's two min. later.
I don't like this I all so get afraid at times does anybody out there have that felling. Lots of panic attacks at night. And bad dreams and it has too do with my accedendt. I am all the time in the school. runnig from it or holding on. Not sure what too think. And it is usally where I hurt that night that something is going on.
And one more question I could go on all night. Does anybody fell there nerves bad when you touch maybe a frigerator or any type of electricity. I just notice this.
thanks for the help...all so can't spell hehe
