I saw MARCO's post about cognitive issues. It was an interesting read. I just happened to be coming here to ask about worsening Cog Fog and overall general decline.
I have been relieved of one of my duties at my job for "being too slow". It was presented as a way to decrease my stress. Instead, it just makes me feel guilty that others are having to pick up my slack. I've had one of my coworkers tell my to put my health first over my pride. That meant a lot. But I can't shake the guilt.
On to cognitive issues. I have the usual forgetting words, stuttering, quivering voice. It seems to have become more pronounced. I am drawing complete blanks on things I have been doing for years. I suddenly forget how to spell words. Case in point, I couldn't remember how to spell 'quiver' and 'separate' just a few minutes ago. The other night, I could not remember how to reboot my phone. I just starred at it and finally gave up. Also, this morning, I was trying to put my phone on "break" so I could walk away from my desk. I couldn't remember how to do it. Again, I just starred at it and it eventually came to me.
Does anyone have this type of cog fog? It's very unsettling. I worry about how much longer I can keep working with these symptoms.
