I don't see a specific forum for this subject so here it is...I brief description of what is going on...I get this spacey feeling so much so my legs feel weak and i feel disoriented. I don't know if it is dizzy or spacey just that it is a strong feeling, while this is going on I forget how to spell words, my coordination feels off, i feel sooo tired. I was talking with my mother when an episode of this started to hit and I couldn't remember anything...I felt so stupid thankfully it was my mother. I would be like that one person, you know blah, blah it happened like 3 or 4 times in a few min. I feel crampy and achy now as if a period is coming, too early though...is this feeling due to low estrogen? I think I ovulated because me side hurt for several days but the minute it stopped hurting I felt like crap and became achy and dizzy/spacey. thanks Mikki

I felt that way before I started the bcp,so I think it is hormonal,it is a horrible way to feel,and I also felt so strange when I couldn't remember what I had just been saying or doing.GOD bless.

I once forgot the name of my own grandchild when I ran into an old friend at the grocery store.

What's worse, I couldn't remember for a full five minutes. She looked at me like I was completely out of my mind while I hemmed and hawed and tried to make other small talk.

It was so upsetting! But it's never been that bad since - that was about 5 years ago. These days I just forget the usual stuff: turning off the oven, where I parked the darn car.

Fun!

I have been a frequent poster on brain fuzz, fog, drunk like feeling for about a year now, I think...though the fog has continued much longer! I have had a thryoid problem in the past so that can also cause it so good to get a good thyroid panel of FT3, FT4 TSH is case it is that instead. Lady E has had good results with BCP and I myself may try bioidentical as the BCP did not agree with me....I don't just have episodes....wish I did....I have 24/7.
