I'm Having Trouble Thinking...HELP

Tags: brain fog, lyrica

Thinking of what you ask? Everything...and it's really starting to get on my last nerve.

I have always been very proficient at speaking and writing. I seem to have a knack for knowing exactly what to say, and when, and say it differently than everyone else. It's not something I asked to be good at, but people tell me all the time that I have "a special gift" when it comes to those two things. Words have always flowed effortlessly from my mouth, or my mind, and I guess I just always expected it to be so. I mean, it's like driving right? Once you learn how to do it well, you theoretically should continue to do it well unless you chose not to.

Lately, I have noticed a significant change when it comes to speaking and writing. I always proofread everything I write, whether it be chapters to a story, poetry, or even these submissions. Usually I correct spelling, and grammar occasionally, but recently I've been correcting everything.

When I reread my things, some sentences I write just don't make sense. Things that I should not be making mistakes with. For instance, changing tenses. You know, like past (I went) and present (I'm going). I can understand how newbies would make this mistake, in a paragraph or chapter. However, I seem to even be screwing this up even when it comes to sentences.

Other times, I can't even tell you what I did to make a sentence sound or feel wrong. It's just, totally unlike me, and I am very distressed about it. It has to be pretty evident if I'm beginning to notice it.

I'm terrified that this is a worsening of the "brain fog" symptom that comes with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and/or Fibromyalgia. I don't really mind if I walk into the kitchen and forget why I went there, or forget what I'm talking about mid-sentence occasionally...but forgetting something like this is just, devastating. I've spent my entire life in school learning this. What if it is "brain fog" and it just continually gets worse as time goes on? Will I even be coherent in 5 years? Writing is everything to me. Otherwise how will I be able to talk to you guys and comment? How will I be able to continue working on my novel?

I guess it could also be the new medicine I'm on. They just increased my dose again a couple of days ago...so maybe I just need to adjust and get used to it? I didn't notice this "thinking problem" until after I started Lyrica, so maybe the drug is affecting my brain somehow? I just don't know what to do. I don't know if I can live with a side effect like this!

Do any of you experience this symptom? Could it just be the Lyrica?

Any guess what type of calligraphy these capital letters are? Just the capital letters and not the lower case ones. I’m guessing that the vines or loops that flow away from the capital letters were added separately for aesthetics and not part of the font. Any ideas? Thanks!

I was reading about wedding reception lighting tips when I decided to take matters in my own hands. I have never studied or tested the canon wireless flash system. I have 2 flashes for wedding so I can shoot various images without having to carry a lot of gear around. I decided to see if I could use my 580ExII as a master flash and my 430EXII as a slave.

I found a subject (my lovely voigtlander Bessa R3M with 40 1.4) and decided to try my secret lighting technique and incorporating a back light flash.

I had to make them 8:1 ratio to get proper lighting but Now I know that this is possible and will be usable during wedding ceremony. Main flash on camera bounced to the left and slave flash at camera right.

Don’t be afraid to test stuff out at home and with friends. That’s how I have learned my complete photography technique. You would be surprised how an orange can be lit in different ways.

Do you have any lighting tips or techniques?

This saturday,

I went to St-Hyacinthe for a family portrait session of a couple I met during a reception. I met them at the birthday party of a friend/client. I had a blast taking pictures of them since they are so positive, easy to make laugh and fun to be around. Their daughter was terribly shy for the first 15 minutes but she warmed up to my presence. I soon started talking to her and made her forget my goal. We we’re just having fun. Here are a couple of the shots…

Public Enemy

by digby

They would have had to shoot him:

An "out of control" 10-year-old foster child was shocked with a Taser and arrested by sheriff's deputies Monday in Pueblo West.

Capt. Jeff Teschner, head of patrol at the Pueblo County Sheriff's Department, said Wednesday that the deputies involved were justified in their use of force.

[...]

Mondragon said that when deputies arrived, the boy ran away from them holding a 2-foot-long pipe.

"This lad, we have a long history of (him) running away. I don't know what his entire psychological profile is, but obviously he has emotional distress," Teschner said.

[...]

Teschner said that because of the tight quarters the boy was in, stunning the child with a Taser was a more effective way of arresting the youth rather than using pepper spray.

"They couldn't get close enough to deploy pepper spray without putting themselves in danger," Teschner said.

Myers deployed the Taser at the boy, who then dropped the pipe, and Mondragon arrested the boy... The boy was booked into Pueblo Youth Center on suspicion of menacing with a deadly weapon...

[...]

"It's important to use best judgment and consideration anytime you deploy these devices, whether it's an old person or a young person. We followed all our policies and procedures, and I think in this particular instance, (the Taser) was used in an appropriate effect," Teschner said.

People can easily buy tasers for personal use. Does this mean that parents can use them on little kids who are having temper tantrums? It sure will make parenting a lot simpler.

Update: I keep reading that this was a brilliant move because nobody got hurt. And I guess except for the horribly painful electric shock that's true.
