Head spinning

[charose]

Hi, Another question from a newbie - Does anyone suffer with Brain Fog where someone is telling you something and you just cannot for the life of you concentrate and feel like your head is going to explode? My poor husband gets the brunt of my inability to concentrate on him when he tells me about his gaming, films, books - though I seem to be able to a little better when it's about his emotions and things that are bothering him. I just can;t follow him when he talks about his hobby as it seems so complicated and I'm not a gamer. Is it Fibro or just me?

Hi Charose,

Your not alone 'Fibro fog' as it is commonly known among us affects us all in so many different ways. I'm a lot like you, I just can't seem to get the information to stay inside my head. People talk to me and tell me things and I'm like, erm sorry can you repeat that for me haha. Don't worry hun, you can find an answer to almost any question here, but at least you know what 'Fibro Fog' is now. Gentle hugs hun xxxx

Yes, I have the same! I can't seem to concentrate on some conversations no matter how hard I try. Sometimes I even forget what I am told within 5 minutes. At first hubby and my family thought I was exaggerating, but as time went on living with my memory or the lack of, they realised that I really couldn't help it. I used to remember everything before having Fibromyalgia!

Also I seem to "drift off" in mid conversation lol, which is really annoying! There is a limit on how many times people explain things to me lol! I've accepted now that I'm not actually going nuts, it's just one of those Fibro things and I've learnt to live with it. It's permanently foggy with Libby!
