This is meant to be lighthearted and allow us to laugh with each other not at each other's antics!
You know you have fibro fog when
You find the milk in the oven instead of the fridge
You spend ages looking for the keys and they are in your hand
You forgot what you have just said and come out with a totally inappropriate sentence which makes no sense to the discussion.
You put sugar on your dinner instead of salt
You know you have fibro when....
You see the medics more than your friends
Your wheelie bin goes out more often than you do
You possess more nightwear than daywear
I could go on but will leave it open for everyone else to add their favourites

So very true. My daughters get called by the wrong names. The biscuit tin lid ended up in the washing machine. I look at a supermarket shelf with a list in my hand and I still don't know what to pick up. My mother will ask me to get a couple things in her local shop (and I mean two items) which is only two doors away from her home I walk in through the shop door stand there in a daze as I have forgotton what I went in for. We have to laugh otherwise we would cry

Yes, then there is going upstairs and totally forgetting why we went up there. Yesterday I opened the oven and knew I should do something before reaching in but couldn't remember I needed oven gloves because the tray was hot!

The scary thing is this morning I had a boiled kettle, and knew I wanted to put toast in but for a split moment nearly poured hot water into the toaster, at the time my only thought was hell that's a new toaster. I dread to think what could've happened. I'd like to invite my gp to read these comments as well.

That reminds me of student days when a flatmate, not suffering from fibro, but rather the worse for wear after a night out, decided he wanted a burger. He rummaged in the freezer and found one and as he couldn't wait for the grill he decided to put it in the toaster. Needless to say the toaster burst into flames and that was the end of both the toaster and Jeff's burger!

When you try log into your account you just set up and can't remember what you put down and have to the username and password sent to your email. Thank God for the remember me box or my phone ask me to remember the password.
When it takes 20-30 minutes to send a 2 sentence email to your son's teacher because you can't remember how to spell the words. So glad your finished and oh the tears that follow.

Can relate to that - I now have a book full of different passwords. Trouble is I can never remember where I put the book

I'm so glad to hear that im definitely not alone I'm concerned about dementia but it sounds more like the fibromyalgia. I'm in my 60s and feel like 80 🙀

Tell me about it! It's horrible but funny when you stop and think about it. I have a certificate as a dementia care specialist so know that if it was dementia we wouldn't worry about it being dementia if that makes sense. Good we can cheer each other up. 😂😂😂

Case of having to laugh otherwise we would cry!! It's my coping mechanism to make light of it. Sometimes I do wonder what other people think but what the heck whilst discussing my shortcomings they are leaving someone else alone

Ok so you know you have fibro when you get dressed and are so tired that you don't realize your top is inside out and have on 2 different shoes when you leave your house. And then when you go to make hot chocolate for the little one but use the dish soap dispenser instead of the hot water dispenser. Rough day!

At least you did not mistake your panties for your hat
I am sure we could put together a book of our foggy moments!

It's so good when people understand my somewhat warped sense of humour. This is why I like to occasionally post something light hearted just to raise a smile or two.

😂 I certainly can relate
I actually went into the store with a curler in my hair. Thank goodness someone actually was kind enough to tell me 😂

Dentist office didn't say anything. Noticed my wardrobe malfunctions in the chair. He said I thought it was a new trend. They were kind but I'm sure they talked about it after I left.
