They decided I needed to see a LCT. The nurse I thought was the LCT decided it was "job stress" take 3 days off and call if you need Valium. The symptoms (memory loss, headaches, blurred vision, extreme tiredness, among others) were so bad, I quit the job. Grabbed a temp job which did not pay enough to keep my insurance. Much later realized when I rubbed the bump on the top of my head the fog went away. If I was not under the influence of a head injury, I might have realized I could return to the hospital for treatment, but all I thought: no money to pay bill; no insurance.
