Lost Time

I really doubt that this is an ME symptom. I remember losing short periods of time when I was chronically sleep deprived but it went away once I moved out of the noisy environment that was causing my sleep deprivation.

 

It's probably normal, though, for memory to "lose" spans of time that passed without much physical or emotional stimulation and when the brain was in a fatigued state? The period would be very hard to remember anyway, and a memory of it would have no purpose.

The phenomenon of coming-to halfway through doing something is different. I had it as a pre-teen, and think it was a form of absence epilepsy that some kids get but then outgrow. I haven't heard many people talk about it in connection with ME, and if I started getting it again, I would see a doctor.

The speeded-up time sensation is different again. My (un-evidenced) instinct is that it's another thing that can happen during periods of illness ... it doesn't feel as worrisome as waking up and finding yourself doing something.

 

From what I'm aware of neurologists all treat conditions of the CNS but they tend to have specialisms. Some focus on conditions that directly affect the brain.

I am from the UK.

I can let you know how I accessed health professionals via PM.

 

thats interesting thank you, i was aware they tended to specialise but i thought that was in certain conditions like MS for example. Thats worth knowing thank you.

I dont need to know right now, but i may do in the future, thank you
