Similar - reading without seeing the words let alone comprehending the meaning of the word. Sentences didn't exist, only single words that I struggled with.
Me, a lifelong reader of 4-5 books / week ended up not touching a book for nearly 9 months. No interest, no comprehension. And all of a sudden too much time on my hands thinking about my sad pathetic life.
Alas, that period is over - I am now reading again, although still very slow and not back up to speed. But I have found interest and comprehension again.
