I went to the department of motor vehicles at 6:30 this morning so I could be first in line for the hearing officer. While he was screening my papers before the hearing, he found one thing that I forgot (something very simple that I knew I needed, but just plain forgot.)
Now I have to go back at 1:15 this afternoon to see how many people are waiting and if I will be able to get in for a hearing today.
I want to scream and break stuff! Life just isnt fair. I just want my constitutional right to freely travel. Evertime I think I'm close to reaching my goal, there is always some technicality to throw a monkey wrench in my forward progress. I hate what these freakin drugs do to my mind and memory!

Re: Brain Fog - Or Just Plain Stupidity
Wed, July 5, 2006 - 9:44 AMBrock it's not stupidity it's just normal. I know it's really damn annoying though and you could kick yourself but we all do it.
I remember when I was on treatment I was supposed to be driving to Bristol (city in uk) but was driving to another city in the opposite direction, I went over 100 miles out of my way. I felt like a real idiot. I never did tell anyone at work.
Yes, the drugs do mess up your mind and memory. It does get better, believe me.

Re: Brain Fog - Or Just Plain Stupidity
Thu, July 6, 2006 - 8:16 AMBrock I hate to tell you my experience w/treatment last time, and I only did 14 weeks that time was it took several yrs to get even rudimentary cognitive skills back and 7 yrs later I am convinced that some skills never came back. But alas every ones experience is unique. The point is try real hard not to beat yourself up too much, it just adds to the anxiety. Roll your eyes, take a long deep breath, try to giggle a bit at the absurdity, put one foot in front of the other and move on. Sometimes the best we can do is just get through the day, never mind doing it with any real success, lol....... -

On a brighter note - everyone's experiences are different. I bounced right back after treatment. Although I relapsed, I've never been healther in my life. The best is keeping up with the 30-something-year-olds on the dance floor. And, having YOUNGER men tell me I won't be able to do that when I get to be their age!

I so get that Brock, people are aften saying to me "how can you not know where you are" in treatment that is, I am lost most of the time in life, lol.
but the truth is I have to sit down and do the math when someone ask or I have to update my blog that I keep, I work so hard at keeping it to one day at a time that I try extra hard to not track it by days, weeks, months.
the other day the docs office tried to give me a current viral load and I declined, just didn't seem to make any productive sense, regardless of where it is I still have a long way to go so for me why know if its good or bad, don't want to jinx it....

Re: Brain Fog - Or Just Plain Stupidity
Fri, July 7, 2006 - 4:43 AMSay brother, Looks like I've got a lot of "fun" times ahead. I haven't started tx yet, but found out yesterday I'm a 1-B. Though I do appreciate the 'head's up. Needless to say, I will continue to lift you up to our Lord and Savior Jesus. Through Him all things are possible.
In His name, chip. -

Fri, July 7, 2006 - 7:22 AMWelcome to the tribe chip. "How wonderfull when brothers dwell together in UNITY."
Yes you have alot of fun to look forward to. It really isnt as bad as I make it sound on here sometimes, but in many ways it is.
Anywho - I got right in for an afternoon hearing and put in for every kind of hardship request for at least a permit, but I feel that they should allow me the experience of the "Highest gas prices in history", if I so desire.
I start my college classes in August and will begin work study at the college soon.
Take care all....We can win this thing - hang in there!
