My doctor wrote the following note on my visit summary.
Ct scan with lacunar infarction.
I was depressed last year and taking ProzacProzac Prozac weekly. One day at work I became dizzy and couldn't remember what I was doing or how to do it. I was subsequently fired due to errors I made trying to work through the problems that I caused trying to do my work.
I'm a bookkeeper and have been for over 30 years. The errors I made were the type of errors one would make in the beginning of a career, not in the middle of one. I'm fine now but have littleLittle noses decongestant Little tummys confidence in my work since that incident. I tire easily and find myself zoning off someitmes for an extended period of time. Any worries for me? Did I have a stroke? Can't talk with the doctor. I was cancelled by Kaiser during one of my zoning off periods for non-payment.
