I have 4 indoor cats during the day I like to leave my window open in the bedroom when I take the cats to bed and forget to close the window the other day 1 of my girls actually escaped I am lucky she easily come back when I called her she was only outside the window. I try to be careful but its not that easy! Lol

My keys like you, I'll go shopping come back and there are my keys hanging from my door. I think ' how clever now all you have to do is push, no fiddling around' I mean what are they going to pinch, I don't own a t.v or magical electrical stuff. They could pinch my art and make my bed. The keys have also been put in the fridge. I used to hide random things in the fridge from the kids. I still do it.
Getting ready and remembering everything I need to take. I always end up coming back in for something. That is usually in mu rucksack anyway.
My stick. I leave that stick in supermarkets chemist's banks. Then think 'something isn't quite right'
Basically my brain, I forget that all the time. It kinda floats along behind me πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Fibro fog strikes again! Leaving keys in the door and a window open for a sneaky cat escape β€” sounds like a very eventful day! So glad your girl came back safely. 🐱

You're definitely not alone in this. Many MyFibroTeam members share similar stories of fibro fog catching them off guard in everyday moments. One member described getting up in the morning ready to do something, only to completely forget what it was by the time they turned around. Fibro fog can affect memory, focus, and the ability to keep track of everyday tasks. Up to 80% of people with fibromyalgia experience some form of cognitive difficulty, so these moments are incredibly common.

A few things that may help reduce fibro fog include:

- Reducing distractions β€” try focusing on one task at a time
- Prioritising sleep quality β€” poor sleep can make fog significantly worse
- Managing stress β€” one MyFibroTeam member noted fog worsens "when my body is under more stress or lack of sleep"
- Practical reminders β€” sticky notes, phone alerts, or a checklist by the door can be a lifesaver

Being kind to yourself matters too. Fibro fog is a real symptom, not carelessness! πŸ’›

No you don't πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Christmas eve I was really ill with a chest infection. I has to go shopping and pick up my meds. The brain fog wasn't just fog it was like a mist out of some awful horror movie πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
I suddenly thought ooooh Glen I owe him a few quid for a matt he got me. He lives just opposite me. So I usually leave my door on the latch. Not that day, I literally thought pop money under matt. Then I looked down and saw something (probably my mind) as I looked down I heard slam! My door had shut locked with everything I needed in the flat. No phone no coat no nothing. No landlords no hope πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I was holding myself up with the wall thinking. I'm just going to lay here and sleep for awhile. Then super woman arrived. My post lady, took one look at me said 'oh hell' she phoned a locksmith Christmas eve. They came out literally in 3 minutes he tried to open the door with one of harry potters magic wands but that wasn't working. He phoned his work asked for a key to be made came back and let me in. 'How much do I owe you, thankyou so much'
Nothing love, they won't know your not booked in.
I thought I know one place I should be booked into. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Angels appeared on Christmas eve 3 of them.
Then the treck to the chemist urggggg! I've never been so happy to get home. I was delirious I knew I had a high temp over a 100 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ how I crossed that road I'll never know. I'm sure that day everything went in the fridge. I flopped on the bed hallucinating πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ woke up 3pm Christmas day. Alive πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
