Has Any-one else Suffered from Memory Loss and poor concentration
yes all the time
it happens to me all the time,a family member tells me what time or what we are doing for the day,five mins after i have to ask them again
OH YES, on a regular basis as far as i know everybody on this great site call it FIBRO FOG .. 
All of the errrrrrmmmm whats the word mmmmmm OH yeh all of the best LOL
CHORLEY
Poor concentration and bad memory is just another part of having FMS. As chorley has put it is know as Fibro Fog !!!
Yes, I get that daily, and I just cannot think properly for a few moments, can be quite frustrating.
All the time not very good when at work and I forget the names of the things I use every day and call my staff by weird names. I know what I am trying to say but just doesn't come out right. Fibro fog is a great name xx
I'm just the same colleague asked me to pass the prit stick and for the life of me I couldn't think what he wanted even though I know what one is and always get words mixed up mixed up Family are used to it now just smile and say Yeah right Mum lol
Oh yeah. feels like l have a mix of dementia and dyslexia(hope l've spelt those correctly)Making lists help but only when l remember where l've put them!!
OMG like every day, either small or when stressed or suffering headaches extreme. where did i put that. name recall and dates worse ever.
bath overrun, cooking burnt offerings, takes me hours to make a sunday roast , when it use to take me a couple. only up side hubby now cooks all roast dinners
ps i used to be great at symmetrizing but am absolutely useless now. i find when i do write it tends to take twenty words when three or four would have done!!! and no matter now much i double check i can help sending spelling grammer errors. now this really frustrates me cause spell checker aint always right!!.
All the time...infuriating....i get so cross with myself....if i think of something i have to immediately write it down or it's gone forever...i can ask the same question over and over again and still forget the answer....i hate what this fibro is doing to us...
That´s it write notes to myself like " stove is one" sometimes I feel like a robot everything programmed a place for my keys another one for my watch, in my work i get cross with myself as well, I work in a kitchen and i do sandwiches so we have a kind of production list were is write the number of each sw they need, So I go to the list and i see they need 20 BLT sw ok then i walk maybe 4 steps took my knife and ask my self how many sw they need? go see the list again maybe 2/3 times, it´s really frustrating, my son use to tell me that i have a gold fish memory. I know how difficult it is but try don´t be angry because you get stressed, and that means more tension and more pain.
All the time and often use random words instead of the one I thought I was going to say.
i agree want to say something and get it all mixed up, sound like i'm drunk also put thing's away and don't have a clue where they are !!!
Always, even my 11year old endsmy sentencesfor me lol
Yes just today after a text to a lady ,she said ah your so funny! i thought what did i say lol , think my text are all over the show no punctuation or in the wrong place mis spelt words and weird bits of added extras or words with letters missing ! , always late for appointments ,dont take in the info when given , and although i write it down my brain reads wrong ,like today my partner said whens your MRI i sad march 14th and he said there isnt one lol , i was reading my dry wipe board it said sat 14th MRI to me that said march lol .I leave my bag in my car over night walk in doors with out it ! then cant find it in the morning good job i locked the car! leave oven on every time,flooded the house running a bath,just forget what im doing and move on to next thing ! 
yes all the uummmmmmm time, bloody horrible and upsetting, and wearing when I go upstairs (steep slow and painfully) and forget why.
I keep an A4 book with things I have to do, telephone conversations. I even started an online Diary so I write things down that have happened, so I can look back and ensure I am not going bonkers lol
Short term memory loss and poor concentration are things I have to battle with daily. I have various coping strategies - sticking notes around the place - even on my front door to remind me to take what I need when I go out. I use my phone alarm, lists on my PC and a box with 7 compartments to organise one day's worth of pills. Still making mistakes though.
im 31 and ive had to put alarms on my phone for dates and times to ring my kids, which is really bad cuz otherwise id forget
Hi, I can relate greatly to this as without my mobile phone and calendar on my laptop, both with reminders set regularly, I would forget most things these days! Im lucky enough to have an Agency carer who always reminds me when meds are due, or those would sit un-taken (is that a word?? oops..my brain has decided it sounds right, but with my problem finding right words these days I have started up a new Fibro-lingo 
Goodnight folks
Absolutely, and it does get you down. I feel that I seem to have a tiny brain trying to wade through seas of thick treacle where the cogs go slow and I also find I have great difficulties these days finding the right words to explain anything to friends or family so get very frustrated with myself in not being able to express myself clearly to a point where what Im trying to say actually sounds sensible! My memory is absolutely shocking and I used to be so 'on the ball' and able to juggle a number of things but I grind to a slow stop-feel like a rusty old train with no steam left to blow 8-/
Hopefully one of these days they will find what causes this illness and its add-ons. All the best.
yes very much we have Fibrofog good word but also "Recall"when its on the tip of the tongue but you just cant get it out,or "fascial" when somone says hello and you havent got a clue who they are,even worse when 2 come out as one and thats without the glass of wine !just feeling useles and stuped that you cant even write so i appologise for spelling errors, nice to know there are more like me but be even better all sitting round enjoying a chat and a cup of tea.
All the time I'm known as the post it lady have them all over,Feel stupid at work as I have to keep asking "what did you say "
