Cog Fog, Brain Fog..

[Jesmcd2]

Whatever you call it, you feel like your losing it... at least l do. 🙁

I think the worst for me right now is taking in new information. I have asked my mailman at least a dzn times when he is having, or how the surgery went. Its not till next month😢 l finally got it! 🤣😔🤣

The other losing train of, wait! Train? Who has a train? 🚂 🤔 Help... 🤣

What are you all dealing with?

🤗💕🌠

When the brain doesn’t engage and the mouth does, or vice versa then I am in big trouble,  Jesmcd2 . I am finding that when I am overwhelmed, this cog fog gets exponentially worse. It’s frustrating, to say the least.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to carolek572]

I hear ya! There is only so much that can be done. 😔🤗💕🌠

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Jesmcd2]

And I don’t like it at all, Jesmcd2

[Sweetheartonvdayl in reply to carolek572]

That's called diarrhea of the mouth & constipation of the brain. I also suffer from this. 🤪🙃🤣Ps sorry 🙏 for being so graphic, but it applies.

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Sweetheartonvdayl]

I understand, Sweetheartonvdayl

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Sweetheartonvdayl]

I have that too! 🤣 It can be very unfortunate for some ppl! 🤣🤗💕🌠

[twooldcrows in reply to carolek572]

you all are describing all of it ...thank you now i know i am not loosing it ...thank you but it does make things very hard to tell someone....love and happiness is all we want to have ...

[Sweetheartonvdayl]

Hi Jesmcd2 🙂I deal with ALL of the above. 🤪

But what really bothers me most, right now, is constantly forgetting what I was saying (in mid sentence)🙃

That drives me crazy..

🙏❤Lisa 💕

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Sweetheartonvdayl]

I hear ya! 😔 l just stop... "What was l saying?"🤔 😐 Then l say oh well.. 🤣🤗💕🌠

[bxrmom in reply to Sweetheartonvdayl]

this drives me so crazy when it happens and then people just look at you funny because you forgot what you were saying.

[Sweetheartonvdayl in reply to bxrmom]

I know what you mean...

Hi again my husband feels exactly like this you have described brain fog to a tee.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to mathematics]

Its a frustrating side affect to be sure! 🙂🤗💕🌠

[falalalala]

Lately, feeling wiped out yet getting some things done.

I don't know how😅😅😅

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

Its by pure will power! You go girl!🤗💕🌠

[falalalala in reply to Jesmcd2]

Thanks!

I’ve been ill with some unknown virus for a week. When I’m sick, my brain fog gets worse.

I’m going to the doctor later and I’m going to have to be really careful driving.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to DSuer]

I hope you feel better soon! Im just getting over some ick bug! Be careful! 🤗💕🌠

[DSuer in reply to Jesmcd2]

Got to the doctor. In the waiting room. I hope they can figure this out!!

[hairbrain4]

Y'all are probably tired of listening to me about food & how it has affected me. I have found that sugars & carbs will give me brain fog and also pain meds like Tramadol & Meloxicam. I've also learned that fasting will stop the brain fog after about 12 hours. I regularly fast one day a week now & I'm feeling so much better. Fasting will naturally put our body into ketosis where it needs to be. You don't really need a keto diet. Moving down off my soap box now😁

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to hairbrain4]

I loves you! 🤗💕🌠

[hairbrain4 in reply to Jesmcd2]

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to hairbrain4]

I love you, too, hairbrain4 🤗

[Greentime]

I especially hate losing my thought mid sentence. Or worse, as I once did, forgetting who I am talking to mid conversation...when I am looking at him.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Greentime]

I could see how that could be a problem😢 depending who your talking to... 🙃 gotta love MS 🤗💕🌠

[Brindisi1]

I saw a friend at church & was trying to recall a friend's name that I see every week who is mutual friend. Remembered her name when he left & totally embarrassed. Groan

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Brindisi1]

Ugh names! Forget it., l will never remember, or faces 😞 l totaly blame MS!

[bxrmom in reply to Brindisi1]

I am horrible with remembering names

[NorasMom in reply to bxrmom]

My problem is pronouncing names. I "see" them in my head, because I've always had a thing for words, and visual works better for me than hearing anything. Anyway, for many years my job had a regular caller named "Evie". Honest to God, I mispronounced her name every single time, even when she had just said it. The lovely woman always laughed, but as someone whose name is frequently mispronounced I always felt so bad about it. I did this for YEARS and she never once complained. If you're out there, Evie, I'm sorry!

[NorasMom]

I have long conversations with the dog and then suddenly stop and ask him what we were talking about. The day he answers me I'll know I've completely lost it.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to NorasMom]

🤣🤣🤣 my cat!! 🤗💕🌠

[hairbrain4 in reply to NorasMom]

Oh you wont have lost anything...but gained the ability to fully communicate with your him! 🤣

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to hairbrain4]

He does yell at me if lm late for his breakfast! 🤣😂🤣🤗💕🌠

[hairbrain4 in reply to Jesmcd2]

I get the stare down if I'm late because Alexa announces its feeding time & he listens to her....😂

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to hairbrain4]

I get a pia cat 🤣 he starts jumping over me 😲 then gets on the table 😖 in front of the tv grrr 🐱🤣🤗💕🌠

[mrsmike9]

My "train" derailed a long time ago...

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to mrsmike9]

Hang on by a thread! 🤗💕🌠

[mrsmike9 in reply to Jesmcd2]

Never ask me my house number.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to mrsmike9]

Omg 🤣🤣l have to pull out an envelope🙃😔🤣🤣🤗💕🌠

[GreatDanekids]

I was going over paperwork verbally when checking in for a procedure and they asked my husbands name.

I forgot his name, MY HUSBAND!

We had been married 31 years at that time. Sometimes you just have to laugh at what happens. 🥰

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to GreatDanekids]

🤣😂🤣 Thats when you ask the person next to you! 🤣 🤗💕🌠

[falalalala in reply to GreatDanekids]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Thanks for the laugh! Next time, just say "Hey you!"

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

Right! 🤣🤣🤣

[GreatDanekids in reply to Jesmcd2]

I was by myself and of course, the stress of forgetting made the brain fog worse and I ended up taking out my checkbook to look at his name!

[Helpmeup]

I was reading your post and, I'm sorry, what was I saying? 😂. But seriously, the brain fog, which I call "cotton head" is so frustrating. I constantly forget simple words like "table". I always know the word in my head and can say the first letter, but I cannot get the word out. Drives me crazy.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Helpmeup]

😔 We get it! Changing the names of objects, people, places can be frustrating... But its Not your fault! So make up a word for table and call it a humming bird! And smile! 🤗💕🌠

[Squirrel1270]

I hate when I go shopping and everything looks the same. I have to physically make myself look at everything individually or I can’t find anything.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Squirrel1270]

Yup! Why l cant go to big stores anymore😔 🤗💕🌠
