I constantly have fibro fog, I hate it. Can't deal with it. Having to explain to everyone I see I won't remember most of anything. I have people who come with me to meetings to do with my child. I ask for letters from organisations instead of phone call as i can't retain information, also have made an 'organisation station'. Where I have two huge white boards, one with a month calendar, in/out letter tray. Just some little changes can really help.

@A MyFibroTeam Member. I agree with you. Cymbalta, lyrica, neurontin all made me think slower. I got dizzy and lost my balance when I took them. Even celexa made me feel dopey. My fog has lifted with diet changes and taking more antioxidants and thyroid supporting supplements from my naturalpathic Doctor. I think it's cruel that insurance covers the doctors and medications that don't work but not the naturalpathic doctors that actually make me feel better.

Yes oh yes, I mix up words, forget, etc. My kids laugh, I just respond you know what I meant to say.. I often just exhale. I find that if I take my time a speak I can catch when that jumble word is about to come out

I, too, have the infamous fog! It is awful! I was always a very intelligent person and was a GREAT speaker. I could use all of the right words in the right places. Everyone at worked used me to proofread everything because I was a "champion" speller. Now, I can't remember words, mis spell words and use the wrong words often. I hate it...

I always have fibro , it's embarrassing around people i don't see on a daily basis. I leave sticky notes to remind myself. I hate when someone is talking to me and i feel as if i put myself in a Coma . I dont remember what that person said but i thin i remember someone was talking to me . I also put things in the wrong place
