When I went back to work after 4 back surgeries I would nod off while at work! I worked as a retail sales consultant at a cellular retail store. I would be talking to a customer or setting up their phones and not remember the conversation. It scared me real bad! I would usually be standing too! I never fell completely asleep, never fell down. It was really weird.
Could it have been brain fog?

I use to be like that until I started drinking Nettle Mountain Greek Steeped Tea. It was after the 4th day that I realized the fog was all but gone after aweek it was totally gone. I started remembering things and i sropped nodding off.
I only know one place to get it at Steepedtea.com
I will never stop drinking it as it gave me back my brain lol a large bag is 20 dollars cdn it is worth a shot to try and if you do let us know if you get the same results as I do also drink 3 cups aday thats what worked for me.
Hope this helps
I have fibro fog 24/7. It is the pitts because I am over 60 and my family and friends say Oh I have that too that's just means you're getting older. But that's not the case and I can't find the right words to explain it. The biggest problem is not finding the right words, misspelling words and forgetting what I was talking about after being interrupted. lol
I forget things on a regular basis and am almost constantly trying not to nod off during work. I LOVE my job and I still can't help it.
Fibro Fog? This morning, I was standing in front of the dining room table fixing to walk out the door. I turned around to grab my lunch out of the freezer. After taking the maybe 5 steps from the table to the fridge I'd already forgotten why I was going to the fridge. So instead of opening the freezer, I opened the fridge door and was like, "what did I come over here for?" Closed the fridge walked back over to the table picked up my purse and was like "Oh Yeah! My lunch! Duh!" It was nice that I actually remembered it before I left the house.
I know EXACTLY what you mean @A MyFibroTeam Member. I'll be 40 in February and I have the same problem with finding words. Sometimes I can explain the word and people can guess the right word but not always. I'm also constantly forgetting what I was saying if I get interrupted. Then I have to ask what I was saying & I feel so stupid.
Omg i hate this, I get it constantly and have regarded it as brain fog plus I think all these craply meds they shovel into us for pain etc make it worse..ur not alone there that's for sure I m talking to my kids next I m like what the heck were we just talking about...very frustrating to say the least x
Thus was one of my scariest symptoms. I was in Management of a Bank. Scary it is, but learn to carry pen and paper to make notes. I have gotten in this habit and found it very helpful. I love my chaos of a calendar. It keeps me sane.
