I've noticed with different meds (I have been on in the past) that my brain is not as sharp. When I've said this to my doctor she seem puzzled. I thought RA caused the fuzz - so the drug wasn't helping. Doc seems to think it's a side affect of the drug.
Chicken or the egg?
Chicken with egg on top.....?
join the club . i have worked with some of my collegues for 15 years and i can all of a sudeen have a brain freeze about their name . we all laugh it off , i did speak to my GP about it and didnt seems concerned if you are worried talk to someone about it
Another side effect off this wonderful disease not xxx
I have this since starting Gabapentin, despite being on RD meds for 34 years. Drives me mad, a word just goes out of my mind and especially names. X
I tend to do those kind of things as well but I am in my sixties and lots of people of my age are like that.
However, I have a friend of my age who is worrying me as she seems to have got very bad. She can't even follow a film or a TV programme and can't manage to read a book because she says she can't remember one page to the next. She is still driving and I wonder if she is safe.
I encouraged her to visit her doctor about it last year and he said it is all a result of fibromyalgia and OA, but I have never heard of anyone having this as badly as she does. I feel that her doctor was just fobbing her off and he didn't do any tests on her either. I do hope that it isn't dementia.
My mom has had several strokes and isn't that bad. I'm worried for your friend now too. She may drive somewhere and not remember how to get home.
I just did something at work that I had totally forgotten I'd already done. It's scary - even forgetting little things like that.
I take methotrexate... I’m 29... and for the couple days after... my mind does seem a little fuzzy... I forget things and it can take allot of concentration to pluck the info I need out my mind...
therefore I do feel it’s the meds rather than the RA...
either way, everyone is different 🙂
I actually thought I was losing my mind on methotrexate. It did not work well for me at all. My brain function went back to almost normal when I stopped taking it.
I'm Sorry you're so young and dealing with RA! Not fair
