Hi everyone, so lately I've been "blanking out" for a quick second here and there, a few weeks ago I started having moments of complete disorientation, not recognizing where I am or remembering what I'm doing. I saw my primary care dr and he scheduled me for an EEG to check for absence seizures...
Every time I call out of work I break down crying. It breaks my heart that 1, I cannot SAFELY do my job (as a home health nurse) due to fatigue and mental fog, 2, I cannot be reliable for families who depend on me, 3, I'm losing out of the rewards of caring for others, which is in and of itself...

I have severe arthritis in my TMJ's and displaced discs on both sides. My jaw and muscles feel 'crunchy' gritty and are very noisy. My spine is the same...
Hello everybody
