      Hi Boqer Ive had each every one of them Im in total agreement they are scary not pleasent at all to have. This condition is hard to accept and to deal with, as we no longer know what its like to feel normal and be normal. How ever hard it is we have to battle on and get through it a day at a time. take care gentle hugs xx

      Yes, before I was diagnosed, I was in town one day, came out of a shop and had no idea where I was or even in what town. I just thought to myself...keep calm and walk you are bound to recognise something soon. It was really frightening, and knocked my confidence rolleyes

    I can relate to all of them !

    I once got lost crossing the road to pick up my children from school. It was terrifying. I just didn't know where i was or even how to use words, i just cried and cried and then a few mins later i was fine again !

      Yep Boqer it is ! About 6 years ago my husband, parents and i (pre kids) visited a local beauty spot and it was beautiful. I passed comment that i couldn't believe it had taken 30 years for us to visit such a beautiful place right on our doorstep. My mum and Dad looked at me like i was totally insane and said they had been bringing my siblings and i here since we were little and we had spent many sunny days here during holidays. I was seeing it for the first time as far as i was concerned and it broke me down to tears to think i had no recollection of all these happy days.

      Oh dear, poor you, I expect it is still painful for you to think of.

      Hugs!

      I haven't had that, but I often forget conversations I have had recently, or only know that I said something but can't remember who I said it to.

      It really is a terrible thing this fibro.

      Take care.
