The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
Happy Hump day!
Hope all the fibro fighters are well and pain free.
This might seem like a rant but I promise it's not.
I heard of fibro fog for years but just recently began to experience it. Long-story short I might have lost my job. I have to go talk to my boss in an hour.
Fibro fog and pain distractions caught up with me and I made an unbelievable mistake. I was just as shocked as they were. Although, I KNOW it was fibro fog I still took responsibility for my actions. Then, I became emotional and let out all the problems that fibromyalgia was causing me in life.
My boss, though I was positive she hated my guts, reacted with compassion and understanding which had me moved to tears even more.
Just when you think you have somebody pegged, they do something that restores your faith in humanity and hope for God's mercy all over again.
Even if she does fire me I will always appreciate the hug and gentle words she gave me. As, far as income goes, well, I am left up to God's good humor I guess. It's ok. I trust him.
Have a fantastic week.
Praying for you all,
Seven

I'll keep you in my prayers, hon...hope everything works out for you.
*gentle hugs*
Your positive attitude is a credit to you, I hope that your discussion will lead your boss to appropriate understanding and compassion for the future.
Whatever happens next, keep hold of that faith in people x
It's tough if you go, it's tough if you stay (fog continues on at times)
Ask for a leave of absence for health related reasons. Sometimes if they have compassion they will help you with this.
Your are in my thoughts and prayers tonight. Please let us know what happens. T
Many hugs....
Peace and gentle hugs,
Lisa
I've found I cannot work at the efficiency that I did pre-fibro because I have to check myself backwards, forwards, and sideways, then wait a while and check it upside down, before I let anything leave my desk.
Fog may be the most frustrating aspect for me, and it's definitely the worst part of continuing to work. I have tools to manage the pain, but I don't know how to manage the fog.
Keep your positive attitude - it's a great asset no matter what happens!
I resigned...I am tired. No energy to even keep doing it. Have to leave justice in God's hand and walk away.
Just bought a new van last week and my stove went out today. They say night is always darkest before the dawn. I am really trying to stay positive that things will work out ok.
Crossing fingers, toes and any other body part I can.
Cyber hugs to all and keyboard kisses,
Seven
