Hi Jacksie the video sleepy is probably refering to is on a recent blog by dayjac. She is a mother who has a grown daughter living with fibro and uses this site to gain a better understanding and awareness of the condition in order to support and help her daughter. The video is on youtube and visually and verbally explains to family & friends what its like to live with this horrible life sapping condition. Look up dayjac and under recent activity you should find the blog and the video. Good luck at the doctors this morning and hope your pain levels are sorted soon take care

Hi sleepy!! I'm finding it increasingly difficult to absorb and remember new information given to me. I used to be quite academical but it now takes more than a few times for things to be explained to me. I find myself stopping in mid sentence cos I can't remember what I was going to say; I go into rooms and forget what I went in for; I put the milk in the cupboard and the Marmite in the fridge; I panic about where my car keys are and they're in the ignition!! I used to be a perfect speller, now I question myself as to if I have the right spelling!! What a bunch we are eh??? XXX

i ALSO FIND IT DIFFICULTto absorb and remember anythign,i cannot hold a conversation and never know what to say in situations.thinkof somethign one minute and then forgotten what it was .i cannot make my mind up about things and dither as to whether i should make a doctors appt.

(this is anotehr topic but i need to say it anyway)BTW dcotors are not doing anythign fro me.i know i have an ovarian cyst my abdomen is a solid hard liumpy painful mass and this weekend it swelled up even more and eating my dinner yesterday caused excruciating pain.

Hi sleepy

okay I have just sat here for 3 minutes wondering what I am suppose to say, instead of scrolling back up and checking what you had written. This is bad tonight. Oh yeah, the video, I could have starred in that, I think we all could. I am lucky that I do not have to get people to listen, they have watched it for so long now and daughter has seen me this way all her life so for her they way I am seems normal lol. xxxxx
