Hi Carole

I get exactly the same, doing the shopping takes an age and then having to put it all away. I also end up extremely tired and have to sleep for at least 2 hours then feel awful for the rest of the day. The shopping day is always a wipe out.

Take care and gentle hugs x

Hi Janet I do my shopping on line as I can no longer walk around the supermarket. Couldnt you do your shopping on line. Its really easy simple to do on line I shop with sainsburys. what you pay for delivery varies to what time you book it. but it gives me some independance doing it this way. instead of having to relie on hubby all the time. plus it helps to take some pressure off him. It does shatter me having to lug it from the hall to the kitchen then putting it a way. I have to sit rest afterwards I do all my shopping on line from food to clothes. Take care gentle hugs xx

Hi Kaz

I agree with what your saying .I counted 10 of the simptoms I get on a regular basis.

confusion

short term memory

disorientation

Hugs for everyone Mace x

morning Mace223 I have been through them all, my short term memory is very poor. Im forever getting words mixed up words coming out wrong, I can get lost in familiar surroundings, so I know longer go out on my own. I also get very confused alot,. I hope you get on ok in your new job in september .I can fully understand you not being sure whether your memory will be up to it or not, only time will tell. take care gentle hug x

Thank you everyone for putting my mind at rest.Most of those symptoms I can relate to. I'm afraid it has sapped my confidence,especiallywhen with a group of people and you start saying something and your mind goes blank or you repeat what someone else has just said. The tirednes I can also relate to. I'm exhausted doing  simple things I  once took in my stride. Can't believe I need a sleep in the middle of the day.  I would never have related them to fibro. Thank you all very much. Dotcon

It certainly knocks your confidence especially when you get laughed at when words come out wrong and you get words mixed up. been in tears many time over these symptoms how it makes you feel its upsetting and frightening as you have no control over it. The tiredness and exhaustion from doing the simpliest of things I find hard to cope with. but never mind battle on. onwards upwards take care

Hi Lisa I hate fibro fog with apassion and all the different symptoms it throws at us. my memory is quiet bad putting milk into the fabric container, and poering fabric conditioner in my tea says it all to how my memory is. Im for ever getting words mixed up coming out with wrong words and getting laughed at which I find embaressing and upsetting. Horrid condition fibro and horrid horrid symptoms. xx

I completely agree Kaz, I've done and said some very stupid things. In just the past week I've had it pointed out that I over explain a lot now, as I'm so unsure that I'm getting my point across, I say it repeatedly or say it in different ways. My daughter said she really noticed a difference since she's been away at uni. Apparently almost all of my confidence has gone in everything I do, simply because I know I forget or get things badly mixed up. Grrrrr! Making fun of it seems my way of coping both with it and my lack of abilities. At least on here we can be understood. 

Take care & gentle hugs xx 😊
