But if someone asks me what I did a couple of hours ago I have a hard time answering. I don't know if it is from the fibro or the neurontin I take.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 Donna: What you are describing happens to me all the time. Fibro causes memory problems in a lot of us and the term we use for it is Fibro fog. Isn't having Fibro fun?

It is called fibro fog. It goes along with fibromyalgia. I am still looking for my library card that was on the counter yesterday and seems to have walked away. You will find that you will have a hard time remembering many things. It is short term memory lose. Take care, Irene Books may well be the only true magic Alice Hoffman.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Hi Donna I suffer daily with " forgetfulness " I can not even remember what I just said some days. I forget what I have just been told or asked and I find it so frustrating. You are not alone. Take care love Lynda Days gone by... > Has anyone else ever done this? > I woke up this morning and had the HARDEST time remembering what we had done > the day before...I'm stilling having a hard time remembering some things. > What is that all about? > Thanks! > -Donna > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, done that one too. Generally it's because you've stored your memories really well, but don't have a good link to find them with. I.e. oh, we had Italian last night for supper, I remember because Susie spilled it on the floor. If nothing about the dinner stood out, you would have a harder time remembering it because there isn't a good link back to it. I try not to worry about it as long as my memory isn't shot about everything. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 I used to have a Mensa level IQ and now I can't remember what I ate for dinner last night. It is very frustrating and embarassing.

It is short term memory lose. The missing library card isn't fibro fog, Irene. :-) It's aliens trying study our culture that come down and swipe things to study! I'm sure your library card is right in the same place as several things that I'm looking for that I *know* we'd have never thrown away. I hope it shows up soon, of course, I warn you. I'm still trying to find my " Penny " doll ballet shoes from years and years ago. Sometimes the aliens don't return the stuff when they're done studying them.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 I compare it to those wonderful little computer messages - " There is no file space left. Your memory is in danger of crashing. Please delete all unnecessary file and close all programs not in use (like breathing?). I have missed my second yoga class in a row because of fatigue. I would love to have the energy of my 7 yr. old kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 I know about the fog....I was trying to teach my child about telling time. I could not remember. I was a mess.......

It is very > frustrating and embarassing. Any one have any ideas? Normally, if you don't remember well, they tell you to do things like crossword puzzles or deliberately setting out to remember what you had to eat yesterday to help strengthen it. I don't think that will help with the fibro fog. I have stuff I can't remember today, that I remembered yesterday and will remember tomorrow, so the stuff is in there; I just can't access it today. I'm not sure there is much you can do to help that. I guess make notes for the really important stuff. But that won't help with stuff like yesterday. I was eating lunch with some old work buddies. The one guy was telling a story and said something about Iowa or Idaho. Well, by the time he finished his sentence, and I started to refer to the state, I not only didn't have a clue which one he used, but I couldn't remember all of the ones that started with I to choose from! When I picked the wrong one, he was like Iowa? So I said Iowa, Hawaii whatever. They just laughed, and I held my tongue because I didn't want things on a serious note, but I just said to myself " it's ok, this is part of fibro, they don't know it's your fibro, not you. " Today I can remember all of the I states. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 I have the same problem.. My memory is about as good as a vegetable.. I watched a video in class this past Friday and had to do a case study on it by Monday.. I don't even remember watching the thing.. this is only one of the numerous mind forgetful things that I do non stop... I felt like a nutcase because I couldn't even remember watching the video for the case study.. I can set something down one minute, turn around and can not find it for the life of me.. this is becomming more and more of a problem with me lately and I have no idea why it is getting worse. terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 What is really a drag is not remembering spending money! I drove myself crazy trying to figure out a 65.00 purchase from yesterday. I also have Hep C and Lupus. Both cause memory problems! Anyone out there with Hep C and Fibro? I'd love to chat.
