Hi All Y'all
I've been avoiding any strenuous exercise for about 6 months and paid for it with weight gain and myscle loss. I've tried walking, aerobics, water exercise classes, yoga and I'd about given up until I decided I needed to get busy and do something.
Yesterday I made my husband go with me to a Beginning Yoga class at our church. I was skeptical as the last yoga instructor we had put us through rigorous and rapid asanas or sequences of poses. I couldn't keep up with the class. The… read more
I do chair yoga and it really help me I take my time don't do all the exercises and I also tried to go a short walk couple time a week
I’ve taken Effexor helps a lot with my pain and energy. No problem with side effects. Everyone’s body is different, been on it for years. Of course, it keeps me from getting depressed.
I know we all complain of mixing up words, getting them wrong, not being able to find the right word etc Our friends and family joke with us/at us about it. But do any of you get it wrong when writing or typing? I am an accomplished touch typist (just one of my many skills lol - said in a jokey voice) but lately when I read back what I have typed it is a complete jumble of letters, often you can't read what I've typed. Often my girls will reply to me 'What??!!after I have messaged them, when I… read more
I do this all the time. It gets worse and worse as time goes by. I hate it. Even in typing this happens. In a conversation I will be talking about one thing and then I say something off the wall… read more
Does your brain fog and memory loss get worse under stress or is it consistent?
Couldn't agree more with Suzie. Because we tend to get isolated and because of the possible inflammation in our CNS because of Fibromyalgia, we need to be very aware of brain health. Part of that is… read more

Look into POTS, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. When you are upright your blood pressure drops and heart rate increases...
I was first diagnosed with fibro in 2006 following on from a 2 year period of Polymyalgia Rheumatica. Since being diagnosed, I have had my medication constantly under review due to the fluctuating nature of the pains and immobility difficulties. The pain can be totally unbearable on days, and I cannot function at all. On other days I am able to cope reasonably well and can work through the pains. However, I have been attending my doctor surgery recently with loss of memory, and the tests I… read more
I do most of the time but don' think family or fried uderstand
I avoid talking on the phone. This can br a good friend or a service call. I will emsil or text.
I find conversation exhausting and hard to focus on a lengthy call. My brain has turned to mudh.

Hi all,
I’m just curious how many other people experience memory loss. Mine has increased two fold and it’s almost scary! I’ll go to movies and not only forget what it was about two days late, but I will forget I saw it all together! I could go on and on but I feel like I have early on set Alzheimer’s!
Anyone else experience this?
I was in a similar position as JaneDJohnson and eventually lost my job over it. I’ve taken legal action as the company I worked for didn’t believe I have Fibromyalgia and I had to supply their… read more
Has anyone had a strange ‘need to cough’ but ‘don’t need to cough’ feeling in their chest with Costo? It’s a strange feeling I find hard to describe
Yes! I told my husband it reminds me of when you spray Lysol and it makes that weird tickle in the back of your throat! I'm not alone!
Please help with any treatments for severe fibro fog with all of it's terrible symptoms.
I wear a rubberband on my wrist.When I feel that happening I snap it and most of the time it helps.One of my clients who has fibro as well recommended it.It kind of wakes up the brain,lol
