I’m having one of those days where I can’t figure out anything, even the simplest things. Fibro fog is such an unwelcomed guest. If it wasn’t for spelling and grammar check I wouldn’t even be writing this right now, much less anything else.
I take care of two kids and I don’t ever remember when I’m supposed to have them anymore so I just wake up every day and wait, which is exactly what I’m doing right now. It’s good because it gives me a chance to get some writing done, but it drives me crazy that I can’t remember from week to week.
I’m used to the fact that my body is failing and I’m prepared for that as much as I can be, but I had no idea my mind would go too. That’s the part that I’m having a hard time accepting. The first time I noticed the Fibro fog I thought I had completely lost my mind. I was literally like what the hell. At that time I didn’t know it was Fibro fog because I didn’t even know I had Fibromyalgia yet so it was a little traumatizing.
I can handle it a little better now, because I know that it’s not permanent. I understand more about it and I know that it’s going to come and go with my flares. As soon as my mind is clear again I breathe that sigh of relief and go on with my life as usual.
I’m hoping this little episode will clear soon, because I can’t think straight and I don’t want to find my keys in the refrigerator and the milk in the cabinet later on.
I hope everyone is doing well today. Be brilliant!
