brain feels slow

[LaurenK]

After treatment, a week or two later does anyones child experience their brain feeling "slow." I can't really describe the feeling other than talking like " I..... just..... want.....to.....talk.....like.....this" With lots of spaces between words and very slowly. Any help would be appreciated.

Lauren,

I don't know if this is useful, but my DS was once put on Tenex and absolutely everything was slow like that. The only other bit I can offer is that while I am not typically allergic, when my siblings and I went to clear out my parent's house by the sea I got an allergic reaction to something--probably some kind of mold. The whole week I was there I felt my mind was moving through molasses and was doing everything in slow motion.

I think it is hard for us to comment because many of us are parents, and can never know exactly what is going on in the mind of our child.

 

I will say that my younger daughter, for sure, seems to be more in a fog during pandas (at points). Sometimes she looks like she is in a daze, or looks like she has a fever (glassy eyed, staring off). I do think it continues while she is on steroids, for a bit. But, when recovered she appears fine.

 

Also-homework takes twice as long if she is not close to 100%.

Hi - not sure if it's the same kind of thing but for some time after my dd was born (a time at which I also had some type of postpartum OCD like obsessiveness) I would feel as though what I was doing was going in slow motion, especially close work like sewing. I felt as though I needed to speed up to keep pace with everything round me. It turned out I was hypothyroid. My mom felt a similar thing when she was younger but she got dxd hyperthyroid.

 

It and the OCDish stuff went away when I went on thyroid meds....
