More Fibro Fog!

OKAY... Well, I guess you can all see how well my brain is working right now. This was supposed to be a REPLY on another thread, and I accidentally started a new one.

Whoopsies!!!!

Karen...I think she wanted to reply to 'I never thought I would froget this one..." thread.  (or at least I THINK that's what it says...LOL)

Hear, hear! What did you say your name was?

 

Hello all:

My memory fog has been so bad in the last two weeks, i have forgotten thearpy appts. even with a card on the frige to remind me. I forgetting small things, but it seems it is getting worse when i forget my thearpy appt. i live for my talk thearpy.  I misplace things from myself all the time i want out of this fog!!!! I am sorry for anyone here who is suffering fog like me, i feel i make alot of mistakes during the day and this could cause problems, since i have a 20 month old to chase all day!!!! I forget conversations that i just talked about 10 mins. ago, it is very frustrating. Hope all feel better soon, thanks for listening!

Sometimes, I wash my hair multiple times while I'm showering because I keep forgetting whether or not I washed it and I want to keep safe measure.

Worse for me lately, though, is meeting people over & over again and having no idea how I know them or if I know them.

And speaking of forgetting - you can forget me ever organizing any event. I tried to put together a little group of people to go down to the lake this summer. I invited many people and somehow assumed we were all slumbering at my house, cooking breakfast in the morning, and leaving in a caravan together. Out of the 6 people I believed I invited, I only actually invited [to the lake] 4 of them, and only 2 to the slumber/breakfast. The kicker is - my best friend was a part of the 6, but I didn't invite her to either because I was so used to her being around, I assumed I'd already told her. The night before the lake trip, I invited everyone over to my house. They all came, all 6 of them; and it was strange to me that only 2 brought sleep-gear. When people started saying, "Goodnight, it's time to head home," I was confused. Especially when my best friend chimed in. I asked her why she wasn't staying, she said, "I didn't know I was supposed to. Am I supposed to?" .. I explained the slumber/breakfast and lake trip to her, out loud.

Everyone got quiet. I looked around the room and everyone began talking at once, saying they didn't know anything, etc. My best friend even got extremely irritated with me, to the point of seeming ticked off.

I really should start keeping a living/walking/as-it-happens journal.. although, I can't write for very long before everything starts inflaming. Sigh. Catch 22s. VIEW IMAGE

Knowing everyone is sharing there stories reminded me one time in the shower i realizid i forgot to take my bra off i cracked up laughing,ive never did that before. Its jus becasue it was skin tone. I now check!

Another time i made my husbands lunch for work the next day and thinking what i was making for supper the next day i put hus lunch in the freezer and he was wondering i never made him a lunch!

Glasses...LOL!  I lost the lens out of mine once and didn't realize it... put them on and walked around for five minutes thinking I was  having a stroke.  What a diffence one little piece of glass can make.

I also wore ONE sock in the shower which somehow makes it worse....I knew enough to take one off but not the other??  I have also washed my hair with dog shampoo and conditioned it with grout sealer.  Hmmm.

Yikes - hope no one keeps hair remover in the shower! There could be a lot of bald fibromites running around!

I've been having a terrible time with my purse. I left the house one day and apparently forgot my purse. Luckily I had my bankcard on me as I was going food shopping. Then today I went food shopping and left my purse right on the front seat. I didn't realize until I left when I was putting groceries in the cart and my purse wasn't there. Again, thank god I put my bankcard in my pocket. This is starting to get really scary. Does anyone have like a COD disorder? I am always second guessing myself. It takes me 10 minutes to leave the house because I can't remember if I checked the kitchen to make sure everything was off. I think I check it like 5 freakin times. Then I get to my car and wonder for 10 more minutes if I checked the kitchen and am paranoid for quite awhile whether or not I'll go home to a home. It's driving me crazy. It's funny at times but scary at the same time with the stuff we go through. I go into the kitchen and stand there and just go in circles trying to figure out why I even went there. Add a tail to me and call me a dog! LOL!

What the hell is Grout sealer doing in your bathroom? Crazy woman!

CRZ49, I know the feeling!  I spent 20 minutes tearing my house apart looking for my glasses and they were on top of my head.  At least I didn't find them in the freezer!     You gotta laugh or you would be crying!

Runckle...the husband had gotten out grout sealer to use on a few tiles he had replaced behind the tub...got called to the phone and left it there, never to return to the project.  It was in a tube that looked  just like one of the conditioners I use on my hair.   Hence the sad sad story about the grout sealer.
