Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I have never been so fogged in my life. Don't know what brought it on so damn bad. I can hardly think today. I am taking tomorrow off most likely. I feel like I am in some other world. As I sit here it is like I am not really here. (sounds crazy as hell). I am going to lay down and hope I sleep and that the sleep actually helps. I believe that the cough I have had for the last couple of days is interrupting what little amount of rested sleep I get. I keep waking up in the middle of the night with the cough. I am soooo tired. I took some Mucinex DM and hope it quiets this crap for the night so I can sleep. I don't even think I should have been driving today much less trying to work like this. I have NEVER felt such a horrible fog and exhaustion. Feels like I have not been to bed in a week. love and hugs to you all, Debra V. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 It's probably because you are sick Debra. I hope you are able to get some good sleep and that you start to feel better soon.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Okay Debra, we have lots in common. My fog was so thick yesterday after being on my feet too long on Saturday that, while heading out for a trip to the discount stores around town with Mama T, I plain forgot to even turn on my cellular. So, my husband and my kids, who had tried several times to get in touch, couldn't do so and dinner, which was supposed to be homemade chicken teriyaki didn't turn out well at all. Well, goes to show you, never go out two hours before supper, your family won't do well without you. LMAO. > > I have never been so fogged in my life. Don't know what brought it on so damn bad.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Debra Be careful... Are you on Neurontin or Lyrica? Both medications if you take too much can cause memory or as my doc called them dumbing down issues. One of my old dr's said that you basically increase the dosage until you get/feel stupid or have memory loss. Mine got really bad at one point.... this was before i was diagnosed with Fibro so it may actually be worse due to fibro... Hope you feel better!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Celeste, When I took Neurontin I found all it did was make me sleepy. I found It only seemed to help the people I knew with Boderline Personality Disorder. Although Lyrica is a kissing cousin, it doesn't cause the same effect on me. It does help. And about being " dumb " , nothing is worse than fibrofog and I get that even without meds. Talk about being stupid. I had fibro fog where I can't figure out what to do with the coffee pot even with the empty coffee cup sitting in front of me. When I have fibrofog my daughter will yell at me to go in the other room because it frustrates her to watch me be so seriously dumb. Right now is a bad time for pain for most of us with the cold, damp weather and difficulty with gentle excercise. Sorry but I am having a total spelling inability at the moment.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Guess I am also having some foggy finer problems trying to add my 2 cents to the postings tonight. SOrry. To the person who listed the things her husbane d is doing -- accidnets! -- YES -- you nneed to go to a shelter and/or adult protectiv -- not wkg, hope understand Lyria/Neurontin query -- when I tried Lyrica, my doc specifically said we had to taper OFF neurontin before taking any Lyrica!! You probably shound not be on both at the same time. May be contributing to your issues. Cheryl M. > > Oh my gosh! I hope that doesn't happen to me.....I am already forgetful at times.
