Fibrofog!!!! Sleep deprivation does it too.
Sort of. There are times when i have locked my car doors cos i was scared i would go to open it while driving.
I think its something to do with the fibro fog. At one stage i almost had to stop cooking because i would do stupid things like touch something hot without oven mitts, leave the oven or elements on and burn things all the time. I would go to do something and people would look at me like "what are you doing?!?!".
Fish Oil has been my saving grace!!!! Now on 4000mg a day and now I don't do so many stupid things!!! 😉
