Fibrofog - some questions.

A doctor has suggested that I might have Fibromyalgia, not really done anything to look into it though as usual, but suggested it non the less.

Fibrofog sounds like something I get on a daily basis. For example today I was preparing cereal for myself, I walked up stairs with it and had a mouthful, only to realise I had put salt on my cereal instead of sugar. It isn't what I would call an easy mistake to make, completely different containers. One requires the use of a spoon (the sugar) etc.

I mean I'm getting close to diagnosing myself here, doctors don't seem to like the fact that I visit forums like this.. I think they think I see a disease and think I have it, forget the name (fibrofog again? Know it begins with H). Can assure you I don't, I know I dont have the majority of conditions that is listed on this forum so why would they dislike this. Getting nothing but bad feedback from the NHS.

But yeah - does this sound like Fibrofog to you? It also effects things that I say, and do all the time. I will be half way through a sentence and forget what I was saying, or walk downstairs to get something and forget why I went down - or sometimes go down and as if i am day dreaming ill go down and do something completely different to what I went down there for, come back up stairs and when I need say the pen that i went down for again I will realize what I did.

Hmmmm. Either way if I DON'T have fibro I am still planning on doing some sort of charity event for you guys, I get pain non stop and its basically full body. So having a rough idea of what you are going through makes me crave raising some money for research. Thoughts are with everyone who has fibro.

You laughed at me?! :( Just kidding haha, I can see why it is funny I can't help but laugh too sometimes :P.

Neurological tests you say? I might have a look into this too but my doctorS that I have been seeing (trying to get somewhere with the main doctor I have is like trying to make the grass blue and sky green).

Good call though with the puzzles and stuff! I am going to start this myself!

Yes, Paul, what you describe sounds just like fibrofog to me.

If I leave to go somewhere, whether I'm at home, work, ANYwhere - it's almost a given that I'll have to make at least one more trip inside.

Most of the rooms of my house are a mishmash of "notes to self," coupons, letters - - argh! If I ever do get it down to a dull roar, it'll be right back within a week. Partly this is because I have so much trouble lifting and moving things, and my husband tends not to see the mess, but I would say it's largely because of my disorganized thinking.

I'm sorry you have so much pain.
