This is meant to be lighthearted and allow us to laugh with each other not at each other's antics!
You know you have fibro fog when
You find the milk in the oven instead of the fridge
You spend ages looking for the keys and they are in your hand
You forgot what you have just said and come out with a totally inappropriate sentence which makes no sense to the discussion.
You put sugar on your dinner instead of salt
You know you have fibro when....
You see the medics more than your friends
Your wheelie bin goes out more often than you do
You possess more nightwear than daywear
I could go on but will leave it open for everyone else to add their favourites
Had it the other day. Even with GPS to remind me where to go in drove south instead of North. Totally spaced.
Yes, sounds perfectly normal for us fibro folk. I walked up a road and into a driveway and found it wasn't my road or my house. I had walked straight past my own road. Can laugh now but it was quite distressing at the time!
Well done you! Because honestly I get everyone of them, my son keeps saying lately that I'm getting the most confusing person in the world, I keep saying things the wrong way around, doing random things, to me they make total sense, and now I keep forgetting the simplest of things that have been said. I suppose it makes life(of someone with Fabriomyalgia) a little more enjoyable xxx
Thanks Maggers, this has put a smile on my face, because it now makes me feel I am not alone. My boss thinks I make it up when I forget things, I feel like directing her to this site. I now have a note book to write things down, so I can continue doing my job, but I think I'm going to be reprimanded as my work has slipped since being diagnosed with the condition. So this morning seeing this lighthearted humour makes me realise we are still human, thank you
Oompah I can really associate with this, I had to leave my job recently as found unfit for duties by Occy health. My memory is just awful and was bad as I was responsible for ordering meds, got into trouble so many times as I kept forgetting. I have thrown my phone in the bin so many times and searched house for it! It's not funny a the time, but o can laugh about it now reading this
Laughter is the best medicine
If we take ourselves too seriously then we risk losing friends and colleagues. Through laughing at myself my colleagues understand far more what fibro is about than if I tried cramming facts into them. There are far worse things to suffer, as I keep reminding myself during the bad times.
Yep been there and done it! I said the other day " I am going to a wedding" when I meant to say "I am going to lunch". Work colleagues just laughed and said they were not impressed with my outfit!!!!!
Lol! To be fair my work colleagues were not very supportive anyway but I never let it get to me. My mom has fibro too, and when we are together it's hilarious.
Sounds just like many of us on here I guess thankyou for making me smile. I've made a coffee and put it in the fridge andwalked away and left the milk out
Do you find it worse at times
Like lack of sleep etc
The other day I couldn't even talk!
Absolutely but as I rarely sleep more than a couple of hours sleep deprivation is always an issue for me. I find that stress and not pacing myself leads to goobled de gook language!
Hi Linda, I am glad I could make you smile. I went for my pip assessment today and got all my words totally mixed up, could not for the life of me remember what my meds were called or anything lol!
I have driven to work in my slippers before now. Attended meeting with totally the wrong paperwork.
Made tea without a tea bag!
Can definitely relate - and can honestly say gravy granules make a disgusting cup of coffee!
I used to have can excellent memory for names but now can hardly remember my own. Horriblecwhen you bump into someone you have not seen for a whole and can't remember how you know them.
Sleep, oh yes, I think I remember it. I find that I am far less able to deal with daily issues if over tired.
I can struggle with my colleagues names but they are used to it. However it is so strange that I can remember the name of every dog in the park when I take mine for a stroll - why is that?
So very true. My daughters get called by the wrong names. The biscuit tin lid ended up in the washing machine. I look at a supermarket shelf with a list in my hand and I still don't know what to pick up. My mother will ask me to get a couple things in her local shop (and I mean two items) which is only two doors away from her home I walk in through the shop door stand there in a daze as I have forgotton what I went in for. We have to laugh otherwise we would cry 
Yes, then there is going upstairs and totally forgetting why we went up there. Yesterday I opened the oven and knew I should do something before reaching in but couldn't remember I needed oven gloves because the tray was hot!
