Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hi Debbie: I have fibromyalgia too. Fibro can indeed cause changes in your mental ability to concentrate and express yourself with words. There are times I can think of the right word to say, but a completely different word will come out, or I cannot think of the name of something so that I end up stuttering, and doing a fibro-charade for my family - luckily they are very good at this, and at finishing my sentences for me lol! I will just blank out and not be able to think of the right thing to say. It is very frustrating. Fibro fogginess is not just a figment of our imaginations, it is a very real problem for those with fibro, and for your doctor to dismiss it is just wrong. I'd say you need to find a rheumy who understands all of fibromyalgia, and not just the pain component.
