I can start a sentence and then all of a sudden forget what I was going to say. It can be so frustrating. I was also an excellent speller. Know have trouble remembering how to spell something. So times the simplest words. I always make lists. My friends laugh at me about my "List Notebook". Feel like it is part of my brain.

I'm new here, but I'll jump in and say that one of the most useful habits I have developed is list making. I can drive 30 miles to do errands and forget almost everything unless I have a list. Ugh!

I've lost whole days to fibro fog. I couldn't tell u if i took my medicine, ate anything, what i watched on tv and the list goes on. My thing is putting something away while in a fog and never finding it again. I'm still looking for the blender that goes to that extra lid in the cabinet. LOL. AND we moved since losing that blender and I still can't find it. U would think during the packing that i would have found that blender. I don't worry about it so much now that i don't work but...all I can say is bless the 2 girls who were in my office. they made lists for me daily of things that needed to be done. I would have lost my job long before if it wasn't for them. At least I was able to quit before that happened.

Yeah I do some pretty goofy things when the fog hits. Lol I guess in order to make it through the bad fog moments, we should try our best to stop and remember the funny silly fog moments. Maybe it will put a smile on our face and possible even make us giggle. That would definitely ease the stress and help us through.

I am the worst about remembering people's names. People I have known most of my life, their names fly away when I need them. I have said I would forget my name sometimes if it wasn't on my name bage. And I can call things the oddest names, like rake I called an umbrella, lawnmower is a vacuum cleaner, umbrella is envelope. This part makes me laugh even though it is frustrating.
