What a relief. I got one of those global migraines last night, the sort that affect every part of your body and you wonder with slight curiosity if you're about to die while you lie as still as possible and try whatever you do not to move your head.
The relief part is that it explains the odd neurological problems of the last couple of days.
But I have been having just awful word substitution problems lately both in writing and in speaking. Enough that it sometimes compromises my ability to communicate. Sometimes I substitute a homynym, sometimes I have absolutely no idea where the word comes from. I must confess that it isn't a brand new problem for me. I've always done it to some extent. But it's gotten ridiculous lately.
Does anyone know if that can be a migraine phenomenon? Or is it just stress related. I've caught up on my sleep, I think, so it shouldn't be a sleep deprivation problem.
