Has anyone seen my brain?? What helps the fibro-fog?

I found your brain! It was in the freezer, along with your car keys and the peanut butter.

I find that folic acid does help my memory. This is taken from an article from the National Institutes of Health.

"Folic acid is used for memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, age-related hearing loss, preventing the eye disease age-related macular degeneration (AMD), reducing signs of aging, weak bones (osteoporosis), jumpy legs (restless leg syndrome), sleep problems, depression, nerve pain, muscle pain, AIDS, a skin disease called vitiligo, and an inherited disease called Fragile-X syndrome. It is also used for reducing harmful side effects of treatment with the medications lometrexol and methotrexate."

I also laugh at myself with my forgetfulness instead of getting upset. My daughter finishes my sentences for me. If I get frustrated over this or really try hard to remember something I won't remember. But if I relax it usually pops in my head in a minute or two.

Here is a fun link that will help you know you are not alone.

I take the folic acid too. I enjoy doing suduko and hidden object games to keep my brain active. I do have bad foggy days but I just ride them out by not fretting over them.

I get a kick out of the times I start to say something and my brain goes blank on a word and my tongue grabs an odd word.😆

I some times feel like I'm on the game where you are trying to describe something but can't say the name of it. Only I can't remember the name of it. I say the stupidest stuff trying to get the word out.....The dish thing, put the dirty dishes there, the electric washer thing, in the kitchen, that your mother got you as house warming gift..........AHHHHHHHH
I feel that I do exercise my brain every day as I'm an OR nurse, I love doing puzzles, games in spare/down time and I'm working on my masters the rest of the time. My edu is a self paced program bc I couldn't get it done any other way now. I jokingly say I'm on the 60yr program. I literally can barely get two classes done in 6 months(I'm not married and no children so there are nooooo other distractions in my life). Some days I can study for hrs and some days I'm so lost I can't even figure out how to get organized enough to start. I doesn't matter if I've worked the day before or slept the whole day before. There is no rhyme or reason as to when my brain is working and when it's not.

As I read your suggestions for the Gingo and Folic Acid I was like "Geez I knew that!!" Guess that why I had to ask though!!!

Kind of like my own private joke with my Ritalin, when I was younger. "Did you remember to take your Ritalin? No I did not remember because I did not take it yet. "

Finkimay I do that! It is so frastarting! I know misspelled! I am taking a bus from ky . to Wyoming feburary and am worried about going into bad flare!!
