Hi Kaz

Yes, all of them, and it's really scary too sad I never used to be like it!

nh_user_745620 · August 11, 2015, 4:12pm

Hi Boqer Ive had each every one of them Im in total agreement they are scary not pleasent at all to have. This condition is hard to accept and to deal with, as we no longer know what its like to feel normal and be normal. How ever hard it is we have to battle on and get through it a day at a time. take care gentle hugs xx

Yes, before I was diagnosed, I was in town one day, came out of a shop and had no idea where I was or even in what town. I just thought to myself...keep calm and walk you are bound to recognise something soon. It was really frightening, and knocked my confidence rolleyes

Hi Kaz.

I can relate to all of them !

I once got lost crossing the road to pick up my children from school. It was terrifying. I just didn't know where i was or even how to use words, i just cried and cried and then a few mins later i was fine again !

Gentle hugs, I can understand how you felt Krissy, it's so frightening then goes away so suddenly, but really knocks your confidence rolleyes

nh_user_618085 · August 11, 2015, 8:24pm

Yep Boqer it is ! About 6 years ago my husband, parents and i (pre kids) visited a local beauty spot and it was beautiful. I passed comment that i couldn't believe it had taken 30 years for us to visit such a beautiful place right on our doorstep. My mum and Dad looked at me like i was totally insane and said they had been bringing my siblings and i here since we were little and we had spent many sunny days here during holidays. I was seeing it for the first time as far as i was concerned and it broke me down to tears to think i had no recollection of all these happy days.

Oh dear, poor you, I expect it is still painful for you to think of.

Hugs!

I haven't had that, but I often forget conversations I have had recently, or only know that I said something but can't remember who I said it to.

It really is a terrible thing this fibro.

Take care.

nh_user_618085 · August 11, 2015, 8:56pm

That was awful for you and terrifying for you, it just makes you feel so scared and vunerable. Ive been through all of them very frightening upsetting I hate fibro fog with a passion. take care gentle hug

Hi, Kaz: I have all these symptoms, however, there is one more that was not mentioned. Do any of you get extremely tired just going to the grocery store or running short errands. I get so tired that i have to take a nap. Afer my nap I feel even more foggy brained, and takes me longer to wake up to reality...I'm getting up in age, but most people have more energy than I do, and I have aches and pains all over my whole body. The only thing that helps is Lyrica, but I can only take one or two tablets a week, due to the effect on my kidneys...I would love to know if this happens to anyone else...thank you so much...
