How Many Others Suffer This
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have really bad memory problems and can’t remember things from last week let alone last year
My partner always tells me that I continue to ask the same thing on many occasions and it is so frustrating
Is this a normal part of fibro?
I feel stupid because I cant remember things and it’s not just occasionally it’s all the time 😩🙄🙄🙄

OMG I can forget after being told something a minute ago. They're like I just told you. So I forgot by now they should be used to it. I forget everything. I'll walk into a room stand there like an idiot because I forgot why I'm there in the first place. Then there's the talking, not getting out the thoughts and saying the right words. Stumbling over them, then making it worse trying ti fix it. I've learned to laugh because some of it is really funny when you think of it. My daughter wrote a small paragraph in 1st or 2nd grade about me looking 20min for my car keys to take her to school while they were in my pocket the whole time. You'll learn to laugh or cry sometimes I do both and it's ok, but if you don't have fun with it you'll get burned out. Give yourself time, because it doesn't happen overnight. It's normal we all go through this💗💗

Yes,it's good old Fibro fog,apparently very common if you have Fibromyalgia. My main problem is trying to remember a name or word,my brain just will not connect to my mouth,and I sound such an idiot having to say "what's the word again,you know,that thingy,what's the word" I know in my head but just can't get it out,so embarrassing.🤣🤣🤣💜

I'm in the same boat, my memory sux, so I either make a list, put it on my phone in my calendar. I make alarms on my phone for everything, I take pictures with my phone of the pantry, in my frig and freezer to do food shopping, and I'll also record myself or my husband for certain instructions or my kids will record things on my phone about school things etc...
