Does anybody get days where your memory is so bad

[kittyfisher]

I have had an awful day and getting so frustrated with myself i could sit and cry. I've misplaced so many things today i've been sending texts to the wrong people. I could scream

[haribo36]

Hi kittyfisher,Iam so sorry to hear that you feel so frustrated take some nice deep breathes and relax your body.Its all part of fibro and yes some days are worse than others.Try not too be frustrated with yourself as it's not your fault it's just part and parcel of having fibro Hun.Try to look at it from a funny angle as that will help ease the tension you are feeling.I know it is frustrating but unfortunately those feelings will only make us feel worse.Iam sure that if you explain to people that you are having a difficult day they will understand.I too used to feel like that but now I just try to make a joke about it.All the best,haribo xxx

Thank you haribo must try your technique before i think i'm going crazy. I have an awful habit of repeating myself forgetting that when i talk to people i've already told them the same thing beforehand or i have in my head what i'm going to say and in a second its gone. Does this happen to you or is it me def going off my head (hope not) kitty xx

[haribo36 in reply to kittyfisher]

Don't worry you are not going off your head as I also have the Same as well.Iam living in a constant state of fogginess where I can't even think at all,it's like Iam in lala land.I have that all the time where I forget what I want to say or the wrong words come out,so you are not alone

[haribo36 in reply to Hidden]

Morning zeb,Iam not good as I woke up early with diarrhoea and severe stomached cramps and back pain I ate too much dried fruit last night which has made ibs even worse sorry to hear about your typing,the fluffie didn't help then?

[Hidden in reply to haribo36]

Bless you hunny

IBS can take a while to get control of so you shouldn't worry too much. Are you keeping a food diary so you can spot what triggers it. I get terrible constipation with mine and am fighting constantly to control it

The fluffie was very comforting thank you very well behaved too testament to your good work H.

[haribo36 in reply to Hidden]

No I haven't been writing a food diary but will start today.I know for def that dried prunes and apricots are no good and I really like them

[haribo36 in reply to haribo36]

I normally have constipation but as the ibs is in flare I have been having diarrhoea.Iam glad that the fluffie was well behaved

[kittyfisher in reply to haribo36]

Hi haribo thats good to know and also knowing that other people like yourself are in the same boat and can understand how it does feel makes me feel better. Just this morning i cant find my bank card i didnt stress still havent found it mind you but phoned my mum had a laugh about it so i now must get everyone here in the house to look for it

[haribo36 in reply to kittyfisher]

I had the same thing myself recently.My career had it in her purse in the end as we both forgot all about it when she came back from shopping for me xx

[kittyfisher in reply to Hidden]

Hi zeb those fluffies are just brilliant and all your advice is appreciated so much. I'm going to go look at your relaxation exercises right now

:-) xx

[Hidden in reply to kittyfisher]

Hi Kitty how did you get on?

xxxzebxxx

[kittyfisher in reply to Hidden]

Hi zeb how r u? Sorry i'm only getting back to you. Had a bad 3 days. Thats what i get for saying i'd been feeling quite good (pain wise) i wont be saying that again in a hurry. Went through your relaxation exercises absolutely brilliant. The heat is the best thing for me and to sit there looking at the sun and its beating down on me helping the aches and pains well who could ask for more. Lying in that boat floating along with no cares in the world the sun wrapping itself around me the beautiful sky ........ :-) to get even just 5 minutes of not thinking about the daily stresses of this condition is heaven.

Thank you zeb your amazing

Kitty xx

Hi, yes, I do. I think we all do. Stress makes it worse. I am gradually seeing the funny side of it. It used to make me very anxious but letting go and laughing does really help.

Hugs

i suffer terribly with fogginess some days i wonder how i remember my own name lol. i used to be quite sharp and extremely organised but now i'm a nightmare. i get really frustrated with myself and sometimes people treat me like i'm stupid. i think in time i'll get used to it (and so will everyone else), i used to be quite angry alot of the time but i'm coping better as time goes on. talking to other people who understand helps xx

[kittyfisher in reply to elvis777]

Thank you elvis777

I think thats why its so hard as like yourself i was a very organised person and its all gone to pot so quickly. I find it so hard to cope with on my bad days though i could just sit and cry but on the not so bad days i do try to laugh. Not easy but getting there. Finding this forum and talking to others who understand is definately helping. Thank you so much xx

lol i was so glad when i read it was all part of fibro!phew! i thought i had dementia.so did my family.ifound out after i had told them all,my husband used to get annoyed with me if we were out & id forget what i wanted etc.i say things back to front sometimes eg put the cupboard in the beans. or i start to say something & forget wat i was going to say& sometimes quite a lot lately i stop mid sentence forgetting wat i was talking about.its quite embarassing if im talking to someone other than family even my gp looks at me as if im stupid,does anyone else forget the names of things?such as everyday stuff x

[Ginsing]

Oh Yes Bluebell it can be highly amusing then fru and I only have two strating even embarrassing but hey it is us so we just get on with it. It is awful when you forget you childrens names but they are very understanding and at least I only have two imagine how ghastly if I had five I would have to call the after bunny kins LOL xxgins
