Fibromyalgia And The Brain Feels Like It Is Just Chaos And You Can't Concentrate
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I try to meditate every day and I found one meditation I can do on days where my brain is just filled with chaos. Does any of you have that feeling that your brain is just filled with chaos for what ever reason? This is one of my goal for this year to try to meditate every day.

It just means you are overdoing things and should slow down, you can mentally fatigue with fibro as well as physically, migraine, forgetfullness, confusion, i also cant stand loud noises or crowds either when fatigued. I used to read a lot, i cant now as it mentally fatigues me. Get a planner, work out what you need to do and when and slow down and take breaks, prioritise what is important and dont stress over small things.

I find it difficult as well. Because noise disrupts my thinking severely, I pray and attempt meditation at night when all is quiet. Starting with prayer I find that I can calm my body and mind enough so that I can meditate for up to 10, sometimes 15 minutes if I'm lucky. Many times I can't meditate for long at all, but I just do what I am able and keep on with what I am able to. At least I am always able to pray. Good luck and God bless.

I call it brain fog.. So hard to concentrate.. I started lists and lists of lists so wanted not to forget anything.

Now that you mention it, yes. I often feel lost. I miss appointments. Trouble focusing on the task at hand. Chaos is a really good word for it. Everything is going on at once do I can't even focus on the priorities.

Does anyone get pressure in their head with the brain fog. I have had MRIs done and nothing shows but most of the time I feel a lot of pressure in my head. Today I have very little pressure and my thought processes are much clearer. My neurologist put me on topomax and just increased it to 75 mg a day. My rheumatologist agreed with this along with lyrica and meloxicam
