Clarification:No, I wasn’t sick before this started occuring. It was a gradual onset.

Feeling really tired all the time. I can sleep well above the amount of hours you need, and wake up feeling like I’ve been drugged up. If I wake up at 10 AM, I feel almost awake by around 8 PM. I don’t have as much of an issue typing but when I’m talking it’s like I’ve had brain damage or something (I haven’t, to my knowledge.) My movement and metabolism seem slow but my doctor says my thyroid function is in acceptable limits.

I used to give massive presentations where I was speaking without a script, I couldn’t even manage a single sentence without suddenly slurring, mispronouncing a word I know the pronunciation of, fumbling grammar, getting a word back to front or “buffering” for 5+ seconds. I don’t know, I just don’t feel as “present” like I used to, and everything seems dream-like. I have a bit of anxiety about talking to people in person now, because talking seems to use up 100% of my brainpower (same with remembering how to make coffee and use the machine), when before it was an automatic thing.

There’s been several occasions where a sentence will come out perfect but in reverse.

I don’t know if this is related, but people have noticed that since then, my movement has also been slow, as if my arms are underwater and are facing water resistance.

I forgot to clarify that. No, I wasn’t sick. It was a gradual onset.

    1. See a Doctor
    2. Get a blood work, and ask for a CRP panel along with your CBC and WBC
    3. Ask for an allergy panel
    4. In the meantime, track your diet and try reducing things with High Glycemic indexes: pastas, starches, sugar…etc. Reduce them all, and try eating just straight up fruits, vegetables, and clean proteins for a few days to see if there is any improvement.
    5. Check your house for humidity or mold. Look EVERYWHERE, and consider getting some mail-in mold tests. Check vents, behind your furniture, bed frames, under your mattresses, and even the dark corners of your closets behind hanging clothes.
