[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 310222, member: 1514"] Can I ask some questions of a rather personal nature but these are to try and help you as another bipolar person? 1. The slurring of the words....is there a chance that he is using alcohol or using too much of his pain medications? Did he just increase or start a new pain medication or start any new medication? Or increase any medication? Is he on neurontin or lyrica? 2. Check his pain medications and see if it is possible the pharmacy messed up and gave him the wrong dosage of his medications. It is possible. Or any of his medications. Just happened to me this last refill! Luckily I caught it before taking any. 3. If none of the above, there is a problem with people who are in pain and have some sort of mood disorder where they end up in this deep fog and it is like swimming threw molasses. You can almost get lost in your thoughts and become like on an auto pilot and forget where you are. It is something almost like a dementia at times. You just cant think. It is so damned hard. You want to. He isnt doing this on purpose. We call this Fibro Fog in Fibromyalgia but you could fit it to any pain disorder. Here are the criteria: [B]Symptoms of Fibro-fog [/B] The severity of Fibro-fog fluctuates from day to day, as well as from person to person. The following is a list of possible signs and symptoms: [LIST] [*]Mental confusion and fatigue [*]Loss of short-term memory [*]Inability to concentrate [*]Impaired thinking [*]Absentmindedness [*]Inability to recognize familiar surroundings [*]Disorientation [*]Inability to comprehend written or spoken words [*]Trouble with directions [*]Short attention span [*]Acquired dyslexia (includes difficulty speaking known words) [/LIST] Do a search for Fibro Fog and I think you will be astounded at how much it describes your husband.
