A member asked:
My wife has confusion and is writing backwards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immediate evaluation: If the confusion and writing abnormality is an abrupt change from her norm, you should take your wife to the hospital for an evaluation. This is especially true if your wife is healthy and not taking medications. The sooner she is seen and evaluated the sooner you will know what is causing her symptoms and the sooner she can be treated. What you describe is distinctly abnormal and needs attention.
