Unfortunatly my fog never seems to leave completly tho I have found that the B12 helps some.

tried that hadnt notice any changes but man I get really bad when tired its really bad my teenager thinks its funny we laugh alot better then crying

oh darling i know where your coming from, i got so bad that i actually went to my dr and said i was terrified and i mean terrified that i had Alzheimer's disease starting, his words to me were if you KNOW your forgetting things you dont have it. This Christmas gone i was wrapping Christmas presents and i went to write out the gift card for my grand-daughter and i couldn't remember her name i sat there for a good 10 mins before it came to me, then i couldn't remember how to spell it. i sat there and cried, i get it a lot more when i am stressed or under pressure, it is one of the things i hate about this fibro and for me me the most frightening, but your not alone it is one of the symptons of FIBRO and just about all if not all get it.sending you love and hugs ellie if it gets to much i'm always here at some point during the day feel free to drop me a line God bless

Oh the fog is my biggest complaint also!! I do feel STUPID at times...but I know I'm not!! It's so frustrating, and it's hard to know how to deal with it!!
I need to be finding a job and I don't know how I'll ever do it! I'd like to think this isn't causing me stress, but I'm sure it is! The sad part is that my husband doesn't seem to notice it! He sez I've always been that way. And that makes it worse...

I've been looking into finding a job from home, but i'm so afraid someone is going to "pull the wool over my eyes"!!
The thought of listening to coworkers and their "little" problems just makes me sick!
I realize that I haven't helped, and all I can say is "your not alone"!! It makes me feel slightly better! And hoping that I can except it...because that's all I can figure out!!

Wish I could help. The only thing I can suggest is that you take things slowly, don't get yourself all upset over it...that just makes it worse. Get creative, for example...I have a place to hang my car keys every time I come in, same place EVERYTIME! I've really had to slow my pace down. I'm sure others here could give you lots of ideas to help simplify daily routines.

Provigil (modafinil). Increases cognitive functioning, may result in being more aware of pain.

It is sad that at one time I was intelligent. Now I forget what I am doing half way through a task. I wish that I could give you some answer, but I don't know what it is. If however, you do get some good answers, I would love to hear them.

It makes it easier for me if I just laugh about it. Like the time I went into the kitchen 5 times to take my vitamins. I just hope that I didn't take them 5 times!!!

no to tired to respond putting post it on forehead for people today to speak slowly and make eye contact I feel evil today I am telling everyone in advance, which I believe is more than honest. Breathing is big effort, I think i am forgetting. It might be the reason I am dizzy. No one ever responds to my posts I think they go up into space somewhere God I feel like crap, but what does crap really feel like. I'll get over it and be everyones cheerleader again. I'd call someone but theres no one left to call. I miss my mother. She loved tragedy and pain but now shes dead. I couldn't even do enough for her. Im sick and tired of being sick and tired.

My posts go to the same place as yours!!! hahahaha

Okay this is frustrating I almost had a reply typed and up pops a warning about lyrica and it looks like I lost the message so if it appears twice, sorry.

Wish I had some helpful hints for you but mine gets worse all the time. Dr doesn't want to give me anything else for it says the Wellbutrin should do the job. Told him I have been on that for over 3 years and things are getting worse not better.

I have a 2nd job interview today and hope I get an offer because I need a paycheck but am really concerned about the fibrofog.

Hugs and hope you have a good day today.

SORRY everyone that I didnt reply to pc froze up please forgive

Yes, isn't it lovely? Fibro Fog. Ever find yourself on an errand going in entirely the wrong direction? I think medications add to it. Most of what we take causes word loss, and doctors chalk it up to the Fibro Fog, when in reality some of it is the meds causing or increasing our Fibro Fog. I once had a foolish Dr. that suggested I stop taking the meds because I had allergies, not FM. Get that one. Therefore, I did not need the meds, and the Fog would disappear when the meds were stopped. Well, you might imagine what I thought about the knowledge and professionalism of that Dr. However, it did awaken me to the fact that many of the meds some of us take, do cause the Fog to worsen. But, it is either that or the agony. Great choices! Prayers and hugs.

Umm, what was the question? LOL
Yeah, mine seems to come and go at random times. Best things that help are: writing everything down, names, numbers, etc. Repeating what people say.. ( without looking like a freak, haha). Try that and just good ol' fashioned humor if your fog is really bad. Yesterday at my temp assignment I forgot to do something, I just smiled, laughed and told her that my brain had died! She smiled, they like me there because of my personality. If YOUR brain performs an 'illegal operation, just make it up in that! ahah
