A family member witnessed me making the bed. I was abused as a child and later I was abused in my marriage. I was diagnosed with fibro a year...

    Fibro fog embarassment

    Fibro fog has been really bad for me, I have trouble talking to people and it is so embarrassing! I take my husband to important Doctors appointments because I know that I can't understand what they say. I feel it has become even worse and it scares the heck out of me.

    fibro fog

    Hi everyone, just wanted to know about fibro fog. I had been having problems with remembering things and finding the right words to use. It's like my mind goes blank on the word and a while later I remember what it is. Does anyone else have this problem? It feels like I am already getting dementia.
