Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I can handle the pain more than I can the brain fog and fatigue too. Don't get me wrong, the pain can be debilitating at times and then it's the pain that won't let me think or make decisions. But when the brain fog settles in my whole life is off kilter. I can't remember to pay a bill on time or where I put anything. I put unimportant papers on top of important ones and then forget they are there. I look at a stack of papers and end up just walking away because I can't figure out what to do with each one. I just am lost. So I understand what you are talking about.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I don't like the fog either. Last month I double paid a bill. I guess that could be considered a good thing since the bill is another debt that needs to be paid off. It is our Care Credit account, for our dental work, and we have a grace period of no interest to be paid off. But we live paycheck to paycheck! I paid it on payday, then paid it AGAIN two days later. Then after I realized my mistake, it was too late! We couldn't get that money back, and that money was needed for many things! I had to be a bad girl and put the groceries on the credit card. I was so mad at myself and felt like such an idiot. Oh and then a week ago I went to go take my bc pill at 11pm, it was time to start on a new pack. There was no pack. I ran to hubby in a fit saying I can't find my PILLS! He got out of his bath and we looked everywhere. I was so mean and snappish to him because I was SURE I had another pack, I feel terrible about that now. He called the pharmacy to find out when we last had it filled - I get four packs at a time. They said November. I said " crud, I need a refill. " I was SURE I had another pack. Darnit. We had to drive to CVS 20 miles away at 11pm on a Sunday night to get those. I ended up taking my pill 45 minutes late which is a no-no. If I take it even five minutes late, I get cramping and spotting. Darn that fog. I hate it sometimes. It makes me feel so stupid sometimes. Do you go from the living room to the bedroom to get something, then just stand there going " uhhhhh, why did I come in here? " I do that all the time.
