Confusion or fibro fog?

Hi lynda10338 Its all fibro related, I am forever getting words mixed up, coming out wrong my son laughs at me when I do it which I do get upset about. its not our fault and it cant be helped fibro fog has different symptoms of its own, confusion speech problems getting lost in familiar surroundings poor memory poor concentration and a few more which I cant rememeber it is very frustrating for us. as we know what we want to say but a totally different word comes out. My fingers hands get very painful and as you say tingly.fibro affects every inch of our body their is nothing it doesnt affect unfortunatly. you take care gentle hugs x

All sorts of weird, not so unpleasant, some very unpleasant, some painful, some chronically painful, experiences with no rhyme or reasons for them....  Fibro fog does cause such muddly trains of thought or no thought (LOL) and confusion.  I have come out with some real cobbledegoop at times.  Weird words come out of nowhere and it can take me awhile to realise it.  OR I do say a sentence wrong.

How is the health of your neck??   Mine is pretty scrunched up...  so I do have some issues flare from my neck affecting my arms to fingers and my head. 

I do drop things to, and I have to be careful not to rush as my head to left leg cancels out and I drop like a stone! 

I used to get electrical zaps down my spine and then like gurgling bubbles in the neck to head, really strange. But that was to do with spine and head injuries years ago.  

I have been left putting up with chronic pain etc ever since, and only recently I saw a Specialist who identified Fibro.  I had wondered for quite some time that I had possibly acquired this dam condition.  I was right... grrrr   Anyway at least now I can say 'it is a health condition', and 'No I'm not lazy or putting it on!'.. I don't crash out with fatigue and pain to be entertaining, or looking for attention. It is actually a health condition that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Hi Lynda

Yes, I too at times get muddled up when speaking then forget what I was meant to say............

I too have dropped things many times and those electric current feelings aren't pleasant at all.  My husband used to travel the world with his previous job and used to buy me Swarovski crystal ornaments whilst on his travels.  The collection began to grow and I was so proud of these ornaments that they used to be displayed on my mantlepiece.  On a couple of occasions in the past whilst doing my dusting I have managed to drop them on the floor, as my hands were weak.  To avoid further breakages they have all been put away.  I'm afraid it's all part of Fibro.

Gentle hugs and hope you have a good weekend..... x

Hi lynda

Unfortunatly the fibro fog is part of it.

I get cross with myself when I am struggling

To speak or even remember what I wanted to say.

One of the things I also get frustrated with is people finishing my sentences or because it takes me abit longer to say something people stop listening. I then feel like I am boring them so I stop saying anything.

Take care Mace x

Yep so annoying, I use to have a reasonable memory, now sometimes I can't dredge up names, which in the past was never a problem. The other thing that really annoys me is going upstairs and then forgetting why you went there which is a big thing when you have sore joints. 

Sore hands on a flare up day is also very annoying, do your hands go slightly redder when sore?

Hiya Lynda,I've had Fibro for 30 yrs now...Fibro fog didn't really bother me until this last 10 years..I even wonder if I had that symptom way back then..but it us hus horrid..I actually thought something was really wrong with my brain at first...stress certainly doesn't help any of the Fibro Symtoms but its certainly worse for me with the Fibro fog...grrrrr....try not to stress Lynda-easier said than done I know, but it does help..be blessed..have a lovely weekend..:-) xxx
