Weird health crap.
Just an FYI, especially to anyone who knows me IRL.
I'm having a host of unpleasant symptoms that I believe is related to my thyroid levels/insufficient meds.
These include forgetfulness -- way worse than usual, and usual is pretty bad -- extreme sluggishness, and an occasional but particularly foul sort of irritability that I find deeply upsetting, as it means I can become hostile toward people I care about, or get angry with people over nothing at all.
The forgetfulness and inability to concentrate is really the worst of it; it peaked Wednesday and seemed to get better partway through Thursday night, like my brain finally woke up. I was sometimes literally forgetting things people said ten seconds after they said them, and I consider the fact that I was able to take coherent notes during Wednesday's gaming session quite impressive under the circumstances. I even remember what happened.
I don't want anyone to worry; I have a doctor's appointment and am going to get this seen to. I don't take cognitive problems lightly. I'm just saying this so that you will know why I am slow to respond, don't remember things, or seem inattentive, sleepy, or otherwise withdrawn. Or if I am bitchy.
Ugh. With this crap going on, tired all the time, forgetful, and the ever-worsening hearing problems I'm having (and boy, that fucking sucks) . . . it's really not giving me a good feeling about the birthday I just had.
