My previous post was correct. My doctor is certain I don't have a brain tumor. Instead, apparently all my recent symptoms are attributable to orthostatic hypotension (my blood pressure plummeting when I stand up). It might be due to an electrolyte imbalance, they took some blood to check that. For now I've been told just to drink Gatorade and eat salty snacks. So it looks like yet another "We might tinker with your meds some more, but really, you'll just have to put up with it until it resolves itself - oh, and by the way, even if this completely clears up, it won't help your memory issues even one little bit, have fun continuing to watch your brain decline."
Should I say "I'm sorry you don't have a tumour", or "Congrats!"
Either way I'm sorry you're so frustrated, and not feeling better.
As isabellalinton said, happy to hear there is no Brian to blame!
I posted about this earlier but the salty thing does help. I overloaded on olives and felt 100 times better...
My mom had said the exact same thing to me re: blood pressure. Salted water and iodine help me
Pickles are really good too for that and it actually helps with anxiety
Maybe meds mess up or fix memory... Mine was awful most of my life until i took welbutrin in my 20s.
Good luck
