Cognitive Function - Get Tested
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

. I'm have been telling doctors that I feel less intelligent than before my health problems. Mental fog some may call it. Even on a good day, while at work I found myself struggling to think of words and typing more slowly. My brain felt slow. Friends and family would frustratingly tell me they forget words too. I would try to explain that mine was just your typical forget a word here or there.

A Cognitive Memory test confirmed what I already knew --- My brain cells were croaking. The test results were submitted to Social Security and my disability claim was approved. I personally think that my claim based on fibro would have been denied if I did not have these test results.

I know the feeling. I ended up losing my last job over my loss of cognitive function. I am heart broke that my brain isn't funcitioning correctly. My neurologist did an EEG and found my brain is working at half speed. She said it was as if my brain was running in slow motion.

The cap is for the apnea test. I had taken the home test myself. Came out to be moderate apnea. Measures your breathing and brain waves. Pretty cool. I'm going thru so much brain fog that I have to keep checking back to the text to see what I was saying!! Hate it and feel dumb as shit sometimes...can't find proper words either...feels like my data bank in my brain is archiving all my info...then deleting it automatically. LOL

Deanna....I experience the very same thing. Some days during a flare I cannot for the life of me convey the thoughts that are in my head. I'm in a rather intense bible study and just two weeks ago while I was there I could not wrap my mind around what the instructor was saying. On the way home I could not even recall what was taught! I attended yesterday and all was just perfect. Do a YouTube search for fibro fog. You'll be able to obtain many answers. Blessings and prayers for a gentle day! Beverly
