speech stumbling

Oh yes Nicola;   I think we ALL do.....and yes it is embarrassing.....and I have begun to think that this Fibro is here for us to learn something (wel let's say I'm trying to find a reason for ALL od these symptoms today).....maybe we now know what EVERY disease/condition  is like.......as we seem to have a Bit of them all...........I have meant to say things, and they have come out all wrong (there are times when I just have to Not say anything as I know I will put my foot in my mouth)......and as others' will say, with 5 cchildren, you really do have stress..........I guess, if  possible, it may come down to, for you, to learn to stop and think about what you want to say, before you  say something to your children????  This can be a hard learning test for you, but it may become essential, as if you have 5, and you only 29, I guess they are all too young to understand your Fibro???....................Bron

Yes Nicola that's what I get when I have brain fog..thought it was brain disease at first....poor you and with 5 children too..it must be all so very hard for you...really feeling for you...hope things settle down some for you really soon.. gentle hugs, be blessed...have a lovely day..:-) xxx

I think the kids do pretty well to understand it bless them well my eldest 3 do. I tend not to look at the negatives so much now and stress used to be an issue put I have learnt how to push it away. I don't get stressed very often now. But yes I have had to slow down when I'm trying to say something to someone. It's tough x thanks all x

Yes me im34 with 3 children who are 15,11 and one I was counting to my one year old and kept getting to 12 and then starting at one again! I burst out crying it was horrible as I knew it was wrong but I couldn't stop doing it I also trying to tell the boys something like could u get the monitor and that last word will not come out yet in my brain I'm thinking it but the word won't come out ! That really upsets me 😢

Gentle hugs xx

Hi Nicola51831 Its all normal hun and to do with fibro fog. Im forever coming out with the wrong words it is embaressing frustrating and upsetting. Im forever getting corrected by my husband and laughed at by my son which doesnt help. my spelling is really bad when Im trying to write anything words end up all jumbled up.Its sooooo hard for us when we know what we want to say but it doesnt come out right, half the time I dont realize what I have said is wrong until Im corrected on it. you take care big hug coming to you xx

Morning Nicola and the rest of you Fibro sufferers, just when you think theres nothing left for this Fybro to cause us then its getting our words out, i think all the stories of how the fybro affects us should made into one long list and shown to the PIP tribunal people, would be quicker just to say read all this because i can get any one of these symptoms or all of them from one day to the next. Im very fortunate i havnt experienced this myself yet, i just wake up feeling nausiated every morning and the itchiness i have been experiencing after having  a shower, well im now waking up with before i have one. could the nausea and the itchiness be anything to do with the fybro i wonder which i get because of the M.E. i have.

Like everyone else here, my thoughts and words are chaotic at times, but my short term memory seems awful too, my daughter tells me something and half an hour later I ask her the same question sometimes because I can't remember her answer, sometimes because I don't remember asking!! My spelling is worrying me too, as an English teacher, my spelling, or lack of remembering how to spell sometimes simple words is getting to me. I am trying to accept it as part of the fibro, and not beat myself up about it, and laugh at some of my silly words like parcark instead of carpark, but I do get frustrated and annoyed when I can't remember!
