At one point, early after my diagnosis, I was taking 36 different prescriptions...I was a zombie... couldn't think, having seizures, it was horrible!
I am now taking only ibuprofen for my aches and pains. No antidepressants, no sleep meds, no opioids, nothing but ibuprofen and my memory is back.

Wow, I had no idea fibro and lupus could cause such bad memory problems! I thought I had dementia or even Alzheimers! I just turned 55 and my memory is getting worse and worse. I also find that I am VERY clumsy on certain days. It's as if I drop every single thing I touch or knock things over. It's so frustrating! Does anyone else have clumsiness with fibro and lupus. Oh, I also have a brain tumor (benign) but it is symptomatic. I guess that could be part of the problem, too.
Gentle Hugs!
