Forgetting ~ in LIVING IN FIBRO FOG

Fibromyalgia effects all of us in different ways. So many symptoms & its hard at times for a Dr to realize whats really wrong. My heart Dr even agreed that it makes it tough to know when someone is having heart problems or just pain from Fibro. And its true.. so many things that it could be instead, but so many times, I forget that the main reason for my aces & pains, worries, & forgetfulness is indeed a flair from Fibro.

I wish we still had the monthly Fibro meetings in Austin as it sure helped to talk to others who understood. My best friend & I Wanda both have tremendous problems with memory loss. Not just forgetting where you put something, but for instance, you start to say something & "poof" the thought goes away & you can never get it back. Or perhaps you might wake up & not really know what day it is. At times I also have a problem making decisions, even simple things like should I buy the blue purse or the black one?

Lately I have been having lots of sleepless nights. I don't want to take pills & I can't afford the sleeping test, so I just deal with it. I will go to bed, sometimes even fall asleep, then wake up, or never go to sleep, and just toss & turn with my brain going in circles. I have told myself, "be quiet & go to sleep" but the words keep coming. If anyone has a good solution for this pls say so.

Tonight I have a slight headache & my shoulders/neck hurts alot. I'm not sure if its the damp weather or something else, but I hope it goes away.

Anyway, I hope if your reading this you have a good nights sleep & a pain free Monday.
