Greetings,

I have a problem understanding what people say to me.

My problem is that I have a very hard time absorbing spoken and quickly-delivered new information. I often can't comprehend what people just said until I process it in my brain several times over. It's like initially what they said is just garbled, alien language. I have to ask them at least twice over to understand it. For some reason I often don't understand ...

Wondering if anybody's ever heard of this. On occasion my husband will think something and think that he's saying it, but he's not.

When we've tried to backtrack and figure out why we're not communicating he will claim he said something that he really only thought.

Daughter, 46, mild to medium mentally handihandicapoed, emotional problems

I've had 2 "grand mal seizures" in march. Wednesday thru Sunday I've had 40 non life threatening "seizures." The first option the doctors provide is cognitive trauma and/or stress. They've been adjusting my meds a lot. I spent 6 years in a highly stressful and childish work environment. I was happy to be terminated because of my physical limitations (back surgery. nerve damage. muscle atrophy) so I was incapable of performing my duties and didn't ...

My daughter, 8 years ago, had wisdom teeth extraction. We recently found out from another oral surgeon,who looked at her past records, that she was given 4 x the amount of anesthesia that she should have had.
At the same time of the procedure, 8 years ago, she began to develop severe mental health issues and began to spiral downward after the surgery. We were very alarmed at what was taking place but it felt ...
