fibro fog and memory lapse does anyone get these

Bones, joints and muscles

I cant seem to remember what i need to do on my daily life. Don't know why I do the things I do. Does anyone else feel this way?

2

I can be making a cup of tea and turn around and walk to the fridge and I have to really think why I am going there ............ Luckily I do remember but this happens often with words that are on the tip of my tongue.

Hi Deb,

yes, I completely understand what you're saying. I start a sentence and can't remember what I was going to say. Go from one room to another then forget why I'm there. Leave my wallet behind me in a cafe.

I've always been like this, even before the fibro, but think I'm probably worse now - think it's the tiredness - and being busy! It's quite funny, sometimes get a good laugh at myself.

its fibro life .you will have to find away to organise your self

i have aspergers syndrome as well so it makes life even more diffitcult

i make lists  of what i have to do and  tick it of as its done .

even the small things and i do them daily so i am not over whelmed by thinking to far ahead.

I was given the Fibro dx in 1999 and NEVER have had the fog issue....I've been taking grape seed extract since 1995 and I believe it saves me in many ways....this antioxidant works on ALL body circulation from head to toe...

Do a search:   Fibro and grape seed extract.

Also thyroid is strong connection with Fibro syndrome....thyroid needs to be working GOOD......

Some drugs will cause the fog and memory issues....I take no drugs for the Fibro stuff....all supplements.    J

Absolutely.  I have posted before of the problems I experience at work and unfortunately I am right on the verge of losing my job.  I can't remember things and when people shoot a question at me about something that happened a few hours ago - I can't remember anything at all.  I have been shown errors that I have made and I wonder why in the world I did that.  Now I have a host of complaints against me even though my employers know I suffer from fibromyalgia.  Does anybody have any tips on how to deal with this?  I really do understand what you are going through Debb.

YES. YES. YES.

Doesn't totally cure it, because I still find myself standing in a room with no clue why I'm there, but detoxing heavy metals helps a LOT. Even with Fibro.

Also, they say moving your eyes right to left helps refocus your brain.

Well, hearing all you with fog, too bad you don't want to clean up your blood of free radicals as I've been doing for mega years....Antioxidants...grape seed ex and or pycnogenol.

I will certainly be trying your method Joy,

I am also trying Hyperbaric treatment as we are so lucky to have a charity run chamber here on the Isle of Man where many people attend on a regular basis for parkinsons, MS, ME, Arthritis, cancer and broken bones to name just a few. the pressurised oxygen treatment cleans the blood by increasing its oxygen levels promoting the body's self treatment. This is why the treatment is used for Divers with the bends or people who have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning.

We really are so lucky and this charity has been treating people here on the Island for nearly 30 years

What dose of the grape seed extract do you take Joy ?

confused

I'm well bad with fibro fog I drove my car to town parked up forget whete I put it thout it had been stolen went police station and found it on a different level, then I drove to the local shop and walked home in pain with my back forgot my car, I'm well bad I can't concentrate I start one tho

H and my mind drifts and them I forget and then start something else it's awful the pain is unbelievable xxx

Need to make sure we take enough for our bodyweight, the more weight the more is needed.....if one is very thin 100mg is probably good.    I take 200mg in the morning on empty stomach, I have no stomach issues and it's always agreed with me......if a person has stomach issues then take with something.....

Then I take 200mg closer to bed...so I take 400mg per day....I weigh about 165 so I KNOW this  is a good dose for me, but know that I've been taking these for 19 yrs.....  Go slower and work up....

It's not a cure all, but it helps with so much.....I have no more allergies/sinus issues.....my gums are very healthy, eyesight is good and I'm much older as I've said enough times here.

I've never had the fog stuff and my mind is pretty sharp....and if it prevents cancer as this is the main reason I got on it 19 yrs ago, what a victory... 

Only time I've gone off is 5 days before hip replacement.....then back on a couple days later...

IF ONE IS ON A DRUG BLOODER THINNER, THEN YOU CAN'T TAKE BOTH....   I take very very few drugs....   joy

Dear debb123

Have you read up on the possible problems regarding temazepam? How long have you been taking them? I'd question your doc re possible addiction as I think they are one of the benzodiazepenes.
