Hi, my fibro fog is horrible and I have a terrible time remembering things short term. I have tried to do research but the most I am coming up with is to be sure to exercise your brain daily by reading and playing memory games. These can be found on most tablets and smart phones. I don't drive much a y more do to it because I just dont trust my reaction time a y more. Hope you find your answers.
@A MyFibroTeam Member, i was wondering what fibro fog meant, i thought me not remembering things and knowing a word and not being able to think of it was because of my meds....it makes sense now, it drives me crazy.....i will also be having a conversation and suddenly cant think what i was going to say next....is that part of it too?
If you have a smart phone you can get a notepad and write a note on it as soon as you need to. I have a kindle but you could do the same thing with any kind of kindle or tablet type device
When I'm having a "fibro fog" day and I have to go to a meeting or someplace where I'm expected to hold a conversation it's very difficult. I try to put on an act or make excuses for not remembering words or losing my place in the middle of reading a report. Afterwards I'll ask someone, "did I sound completely stupid" and it's always, "no you were fine". It's like your brain has a slight covering of vaseline over it making every thought and word struggle to get past it. Ugh...hate it!!! I exercise my brain daily by doing word find games, crosswords, even candy crush!
