short term memory loss

[dottiedog]

" I am soo tired and sore I will have to sleep in the stairs" I said to my son. Reading through all your blogs and am relieved that there is such a thing as fog moments. that explains alot of my days. I always thought it was because I am dslexic and have short term memory loss?

[westgate]

i can so relate! a few weeks ago i couldnt remember how to work my hair tongs. i then couldnt rememeber which was my toothbrush.......a sense of humour is essential!!

[dottiedog in reply to westgate]

my son has a whole list of the daft thing I do & say that he reminds me of when I'm sore n grumpy which make us both laugh. Have had to learn to laugh as much as possible or I would think I'm totally bonkers!!!

[lynz]

[dottiedog in reply to lynz]

my hubby was gobsmacked when i said at an ESA medical that i put a curry in the dishwasher to cook and thought that someone had stolen it when i loooked in the oven later and it was gone!

the doctor presiding was suitably impressed!! lock me up now!

Those daft moment become more frequent. I recently told my partner a building had been removed completely nothing left all gone. Imagine how i FELT WHEN i DROVE HIM PAST IT yesterday and it was completely there- I felt such a numpty .you got to smile though and it helps to understand there are others out there suffering too!

Oh God! Do you know you have done these things in hindsight?? Have just asked a question re memory or lack of it in the work place. Perhaps I am losing my marbles after all!

I too have 'foggy' moments, but if you KNOW you have done or not done something? Can I rely on that being the truth? I too have put the milk in the washing machine and given the dog the cat food etc. But once I realsie the mistake can laugh about it!! But if you are 100% sure you have done something. can you rely on that?

[dottiedog in reply to suejayjay]

well that's a good question- just have to have faith that we are not on fog mode all the time. I find that my son sometimes takes advantage of fibro fog when he's been asked to do something& he's not! Have never been aqused of lying - now I am starting to feel more parionid that usual!! argh - no must believe in ourselves. We may be fogggy but not that forgetful.

lol soft hugs xxxx dottiedog

[dottiedog in reply to gerry1]

oh heck Gerry that's a bad yin- but on the plus side nothing bad happened. chin up everyones okay. Have done similar thing myself- late for picking up my son from school cos I forgot the time. We are not alone there- PM forgot his daughter an he's got no excuse! Fibro fog is scarry when you do some things like this. You would have remembered her bet your a great mum. soft hugs Jill xxx
