I actually had a complete neuropsychological exam because of my memory and cognitive problems and my doctor told me that my brain isn't processing information the way it should and that he believes 100% that it is the fibro and not due to any other neurological issues. I also had an EEG and a MRI and both were fine.
He might want to put me on stimulants to make my brain work more quickly but besides that there isn't anything that can be done.

All we can really do is write things down that we need to remember.

As for them being side effects of lyrica-
I used to take gabapentin and these things happened after a year on it. It's almost the same drug but then stopped after.
They are definitely part of fibromyalgia.

Yup I've always a had a great vocabulary until the last couple of years and now everything is either a thingy or a thingy-thing... Whilst I'm gesturing wildly trying to explain myself lol it's actually a really common cognitive symptom of fibromyalgia, so you are most definitely not alone. I don't know anything about medical treatments for it, but I play as many word games and read as often as I can. I figure that exercising that part of My brain is a good way to keep it sharp

Every day is a challenge, for me it has become really bad the last year now. I cant remember what im about to say and i cant remember if i just took my pills and im still holding them in my hands. You are not alone x

I get that all the time. can't remember the word I want to say to describe something, loose my glasses, I'm driving and not sure where I am going, on and on and on...I have to just laugh and accept it is part of fibro fog!!,
