    Oh how I could have not read your message , that has been me for years . My speech gets stuck in my head , at times I think I answered someone's questionand I hadn't . Also I refer things as "thingee's " as the words have left my brain. I totally hate admitting this. As I have always looked at my family memebers as they are the ones with the issue,not I. Since youhave me on a roll , I would say I get lost driving the same route for year about85 percent of the time, with talking GPS I get lost just as much. I have lived in the same town for over 20 years. It's horrible calling my husband saying ,"I am lost" .

    Some how though I can take on a full load at school and stay on a 4.0 GPA with my other responsibilities. Now I do it in PAIN

    Hi Jill

    Sorry to hear about all your problems.

    Yes I struggle with fibro and doing too much.

    I have always been the same, I know if I do too much on one day I will be out for the count for at least 2 days after or sometimes longer.

    I lost my job through fibro, but I didn't know at the time that it was fibro. My employer terminated my contract 4 months before I got the diagnosis, due to I couldn't give them a date I could return to work from sickness.

    Hope everything goes okay for you.

    Take care and gentle hugs

    I get so frustrated at the fact that I am getting so so restricted year after year..  hohum   Just a downer few wee minutes at the mo.....
