Anyone with Preeclampsia/HELLPS?

[doxie.chi]

Hello Ladies,
I am 14 weeks post delivery to my wonderful son, Jaxson who was born 9 weeks early due to my severe preclampsia/HELLPS. Long story short, I developed some visual issues and they did an MRI, though they could not see a stroke, they could not say for sure if I had one or not. Well, Since then my visual changes have gotten much better, but I feel like Im losing my mind. I am lost midsentence almost always, In the begining I was driving and I forgot what side of the road I should be on( I stopped driving) and the other day, When I drove, I couldnt for the death of me figure out where I was going, even though I've been 100s of times. I put stamps on the wrong side of the envelope, and when I realized it was wrong, I couldnt figure out where it really should go...simple little mistakes like that. I feel like I have dejuvu everyday. My family says that "Im just tired" after taking care of my son. The neurologist in the hospital said it should get better with time, but I feel like Im going crazy...its frustrating. Have any of you had this????
Thank you!
Liz
