Members confirmed that stuttering, slurred speech, and brain fog during stressful flares are common fibromyalgia symptoms, with many describing difficulty finding words, losing their train of thought mid-conversation, and feeling especially overwhelmed in busy environments. Several members shared practical strategies, including taking folic acid before bed (which one member credited with dramatically reducing daily brain fog), learning to laugh off word-finding struggles, and explaining these symptoms to family members so loved ones better understand what's happening during high-stress periods. A recurring theme was the frustration of living undiagnosed for years or decades before finally receiving answers, coupled with the relief and validation that comes from knowing you're not alone in these experiences.

I forget words frequently and lose my train of thought if I get interrupted. It's embarrassing. Especially for a person who loves words .

Julie🌷, I posted above, but wanted to add that I didn’t have this prior to Fibro. It seems to be one of Fibros many symtoms for some of us😣

I used to have extremely bad brain fog from wakeup to bedtime. I was given the suggestion of taking Folic Acid to help with it and I just about fell off my chair because I am a man. Let me tell you after about 2 weeks of taking 1 before bed every night and I have not had any problems waking up in the morning. I spent a few years just walking around in a brain fog all day long and now I get none at all because of this little miracle drug for women during pregnancy. Try it and see if it works for you, I know not all things work for everyone but trying when you are in pain or a fog I say is the best treatment and hey my doctor had a good laugh.

Yes, it is possible to have fibro from an early age and not get diagnosed until much later. I had fibro starting at around age 12 (1973) and not diagnosed until 2000.

Yes I have. I think a lot of us have this happen at times. I don’t get slurred speech, but I get a loss for a word at times, and sometimes may stutter, but mostly a loss for words with brain/Fibro fog.
