Happy Birthday to you. Hope that it a wonderful on and that you get the gift of your Fibro staying at bay...Hugs
I am going through a flare right now and got so upset last night that I couldn't remember where my medicine was.....I didn't sleep all night for worrying where I had put it. I get out of bed this morning and find it exactly where I had left it on the table beside my recliner. I looked there last night and didn't "see" it. So darn frustrating! Tomorrow will be better...Hugs
I also experience days when i am very forgetful it can really be overwhelming and frustrating. There's also days when i am in a bad fog. I learn that it is part of fibro and a flare upsome days can be worst than others. Before knowing that i had fibro having those problems were very frightening for me . even now i am going through and dealing with some new issues.Just tried to stay encourage that's why the fibro family is here for each other.
I hope you get it figured out! Hugs to you!
