I have not been formally diagnosed with Fibro, but the doctor is pretty sure that is what it is. I am just finding out about the brain fog and it is causing trouble at work. Both my daugheters have Fibro. They are both far away from me. My husband and I are very close, but the depression is very difficult without my girls. And my job is in danger. Probably will have to retire by Tksgvng.
Just feeling down.

" I''m so sorry that you too have this horrid fibro. I hope that you can get some good meds to help you with the pain and sleep. I had to stop working too and it took me some time to get used to it. I had to learn how to pass the time when home all the time and DS is my social life and life line.

Take care,
hugs Cathy "

" Thanks Cathy. I do have two good doctors who understand Fibro, so I think I am much luckier than many. I am really doing much better now, and I hope I can keep working for a while longer.
I really do not know how to work this site, so I am afraid I have not answered some folks!
This site was suggested by my daughter, Kindercrazed!
Again Thanks, and hugs to you!

" Mimi, Sorry for your problems. I have the same brain fog, as probably everyone here does.

But I remembered some suggestions that were posted here to help. I just did a search and lots of ppl are saying "Fish Oil" helps a lot with "brain Fog".

I kept forgetting what is was when I got to the store, but now I'll be buying it myself. As a matter of fact, I am going to bring up a new discussion on "Brain Fog" and lets see what other suggestions might be posted. Hang in there, Hugs, Debbie "
