Is anybody else a numpty?

[sweetiepie]

After an appt with my gp about fatigue (the usual moans), he sent me to a pain clinic. No probs till i got to the hospital and decided the appt was on the subject of memory probs (again you'll know the script). The doc asked what i had expected on the way to see him. Well, i thought you would give me a memory test. He seemed a bit confused but very polite. I'll send you to a memory clinic. It was on the way home i realised wot had happened. I felt stupid. Why can't i see one person for this illness? Why does it have to be a 3 pronged attack of Pain Memory Fatigue? I feel a right numpty!!

At my app last week my doc asked how are you doing? as he normally does

I replied 'cold'

He asked me again...........

................... I replied 'still cold'

When he asked me the third time......... he said and 'please don't tell me you're cold' and chuckled

I chuckled too and then forgot what I was referring to, which, was could I be sent to find out what's wrong with my internal thermostat please?

So I'm a numpty too and now shall have to try to remember for next time!

You are sooooooooooooo not alone my friend

Hands up, lots of times!

I made a pot of coffee last week - when I poured the coffee I found out I hand' put any coffee in.... Last week was a "very good" forgetful week but I can't remember them all now.

The good thing (?) about fibro is that you can forget about the things you forget!

I do take Vitamin B12 which I find very helpful why not give it ago it seems to help with the fog and lack of words.

Take care

Me too....... If I get distracted in the middle of a sentence I forget what I was talking about. I know exactly what you mean about hospitals/doctors. They ask questions which is lethal....as you go in having rehearsed what you are going to say all the time you have been waiting and then they ask a question which totally derails the carefully thought out and prepared statement that you have been repeating in your head to try and commit it to your leaky memory.

So pleased other have the same problem, hate being in the middle of a conversation and then either forgetting what we were talking about or the words I need to use! 😀
