      I just recently finished WBRT. I have been having a lot of “glitches ” I forget to put down whatever is in my hands and try to do things with it in my hands. I forget to take off my clothes and try to put on more clothes. I forget to flush the toilet, which is a pet peeve.
      Does anyone else that has gone thru WBRT have any information on this?

      Thank you,
      Tyais

          Hey, Sweetie! Good to see you here. We have all been thinking of you and even reached out on a thread a few pages back!!! Sorry for the “glitches”. I had SRS rather than WBR, so do not have personal experience regarding what you are going through. However, through my training, research, and other patient care – what you are describing sounds very consistent with WBR. Additionally, these are things that often improve with time. “Sister of the Patient” on this board has many threads that talk about how her sister managed through her experience with WBR, so you might check her out:

          Hopefully she will chime in as well. Of course, I think it is important that you run these concerns by your docs to make sure nothings else is going on. Hang in there!!! Yours, celeste
