I seem to suffer a lot with Fibro fog..it can be quite funny most of the time..well its either that or cry.. a few examples over the past week...went shopping last Friday morning with my sister, my friend called in the afternoon to ask if I needed anything from the shops I said..i better come with you as I have nothing in..even tho I was exhausted and in pain..so off we went and done the shop..returned home and opened the fridge door and there was lot of food they which was quite a shock soi phone my sister up and asked her if she had done shopping for me and put it in fridge while I was out shopping,of course she told me I had done it with her that morning, I now have a vague memory of it but that's all....My daughters school phoned yesterday to ask if we were attending the year 11 workshop (for GCSE revision) that evening. i said do you mean year 10? she said no year 11! so i said well my daughter is in year 10, after some discussion i realised she was right ;-( not sure where this should go!!

Fibro fog!!
Foggy by name, Foggy by nature, so you have my complete and utter understanding on this. I make mistakes, midd appointments , turn up for things that aren't happening, you name it I do it.
If it wasn't for keeping a sense of humour about the whole thing I think we'd go under......keep the grey matter churning if you can.......but then I never has a brain in the first place........lalalala 
Foggy x
Well that makes two of us foggy, I think I sit on mine, or so I'm told, ...Dee x
Well 3of us. a month ago I turned up for an app't a day early felt such a plum 
plus constantly going to do things I've already done and not remembering the things that I haven't and sometimes the words will be in my head but gobbledegook comes out of my mouth when I speak

my p.a. came tuesday evening to help with my shower.
I said "Asda's brought my shopping, will you throw it out for me please?"
thankfully ,she knows me well, and put it away instead 
LOLOL
Totally understand where you are coming from... I always laugh and make a joke of it when the wrong words come out of my mouth. This always seem to happen when I am in a stressful situation or when I am trying to do too many things at once. I guess this is the same for all of us.
I have an enormous calendar pinned on my kitchen wall where I write all my appointments so I can keep checking what I should be doing.... I also make lists for everything .... a list for shopping ( have to remember to take it with me!) , a list of things I want to say when I have an appointment.
It also helps me to make a plan for the day, so that I don't overdo things , but also leave some spare time for "emergencies". I am hopeless at "doing things on the spur of the moment" and have to make sure everything is well organised in advance. For example, I have already ordered the turkey for Christmas!! Not a great one for surprises! xx
Hi just read post I do lists but forget where I put them now I started on this forum it's saved my sanity I thought I would have to get a priest in as we may of had a spook but no there's lots of us doing the same thing forgetting dates and so on
Let's have a get together and see how many turn up or remember I for one don't no lol xxx
Oh my goodness, it's so great to know that I'm not alone!!! I get worried sometimes that I'm completely losing the plot! My most recent one was earlier this week when I went to run myself the afternoon bath I'd planned on taking to ease the aches only to suddenly realise (due to the clothes I was wearing) that I had just had the bath!! Unbloody believable!
Arrrh,the dreaded fibro fog.As I've been so ill for a while unfortunately the fog has increased and I spend days in a dream world where nothing makes sense and I struggle to think what I need to do and to remember things.Its like dementia I think and makes life hard.But yes I do try to laugh at it especially when it makes me say silly things or I put things in silly places x
Hi everyone. I'm newly diagnosed at age 29 after suffering extreme pain in various parts of my body for the last year, mainly my hips. Its only since being diagnosed that I heard of 'Fibro Fog' and the more stories I read, the more it sounds like me! I'm just glad I'm not losing my mind like I'd thought I might be! I'm a clever Woman but I've honestly felt like my IQ has done a runner. Its been quite funny to be fair at points with some of the stuff I've done and said, but also very frustrating. I never connected it to my pain so now I'm half glad I have a reason for it!
Hope to 'speak' to some of you soon, Sam xxx
I often get my words mixed up or unable to remember what word I need, until very recently (about 2 weeks) I always got very stressed and panicky when it happened. I always worried what other people were thinking of me. I've decided that its no good getting stressed if its going to happen there's nothing I can do about it, and its made it easier to deal with (I even laugh sometimes)
Hi Lucy, I completely agree with your new mindset, don't get panicky, just make a joke out of it, I do it all the time and friends and others know I don't always make complete sense, but then maybe I never did, so I just laugh it off to the best of my ability.

I'm with you on this about laughing off fibro fog. I was always thinking that other people were thinking I was mad or stupid, but i spoke to hubby about it & he said I was being paranoid - there's no way I could tell what other people were thinking. Even my kids hve said things like that to me - just laugh it off - no one cares, everyone's got their own probs to deal with, so don't spend time worryng about what others might be thinking about you - theyre prob too busy thinking about themselves to worry about you.

Glad I'm not alone (is that selfish?) i have a very GSOH anyway, My partner and my daughter laugh along with me, but can be annoying when someone say something to me expecting a reply and my mind goes blank or i say something totally unrelated to what the person was saying but i don't care anymore
It's not selfish to be glad you're not alone. I've been alone with fibro for 20 years and only now do I find I really need to talk to more people who understand it and to not feel so alone. I'm so glad I found this forum because everyone is really nice and, most importantly, can put a smile on someone's face when they're feeling low and understand how it feels to be inside fibro.
I have it too. I was at work yesterday and went to do something but completely forgot what it was. I do panic when it happens at work as my boss is not the nicest of people
Laughter is the best medicine so they say! I try to make a joke of it. Im a bit of a joker anyway so luckilly it just seems like another gag to everyone!
bottle of squash in one hand,
empty glass in the other,
cold water pouring from tap -
I know I've come in here for something!
can't remember what!
so put it all away, turn off tap and exit the kitchen.
I had an episode ony way to work, I ride a bike and had fibro fog starting, it's weird I felt I could do anything like fly on my bike with ET sat in my basket !!
o im soooo glad im not the only one i thought i was getting dementia! i can be talking & half way thru a sentence & just forget what i was talking about.im the same on the phone too which is really embarassing!i forget what things are called eg.. my husband was going to do a bit of shopping,i asked him to get some of those things with green leaves i meant cabbage.or i get thing the wrong way round like put the cupboard in the biscuit! i laugh it off now.i can never remember what i saw on tv either the list goes on & 0n lol
