I get "Fibro Fog" quite often. I forget what word I want to say or the name of a thing I'm talking about. I find myself describing the thing when I can't find the word. I have a calendar on the wall and the calendar in my phone and I use them both to remember appointments, birthday parties, or Anything else important. Sometimes I forget something my husband told me, and the next day he'll mention it and I won't remember what he said. I keep lists of chores I need to do, grocery lists, all kinds of lists. The memory issues caused me to have to stop working in a career that I was in for 30 yrs. I think this one of the worst things caused by Fibro. But I have Lupus too and it causes memory problems too. All I can suggest is to use some of the memory reminders to make life a little easier. And I do have some days that are better than others. I hope I've been some help.
It really scares me when this happens. I can see a face in my head & can't remember a name or I can't think of a word to explain something. My 86yr old mom & I play Scrabble to keep our minds alert & I think it helps to some extent except when I need those words to speak! I get stressed when I can't vocalize what I want to say. I have had migraine babble where you know what you want to say but babble comes out. I had a brain MRI & everything was ok.
@A MyFibroTeam Member I do feel for you.... I would check it out with MD, maybe there is something else you can go on. I am getting off of it I hope soon. Good Luck. (I thought i had a stroke) lol
My memory gets worse a little at a time. I have Lupus and Fibro together. For me, changing meds had no effect. I had a brain scan and found out I had lost some brain tissue. This is due to the Lupus. But when I do have a Fibro flair, I do find my memory temporarily gets worse. When the flair ends, the memory goes back to where it was before the flair.
Hi Rhonda! I too have trouble with meds, they all make me feel worse. I'm looking up what you posted. Thanks I like to see what others do besides meds. Prayers & hugs!
