Sorry I am late to this important conversation. Simplelife, I understand your situation and my recommendation is to monitor your stress and this is a big part of the fog in my experience. Everyone on this thread have provided such great suggestions. I too will attempt moving more and engaging in App games or simple board games. Anything to help circulation and relaxation sounds beneficial to grasping control of the fog.
A little more about fibro fog. I was diagnosed with FM earlier on in this year, I am learning new symptoms associated with the condition. I finally decided to do more googling about FM as I am desperate to control the symptoms. On my journey, I realized fibro fog also affects speech. I had no idea until yesterday while searching for answers. Although I was super happy to find a reason for the speech issues, it made me emotional and frustrated. Just another hit to the chest. As a student and employee, I want the best for my future goals. However, the fibro-fog and speech impairments are sometimes unavoidable because life sometimes brings stressful conditions that increases FM symptoms. While attending residency for two weeks at school, I was stressed with so many things happening at the same time. Of course fibro-fog kicked in, I could have presented better but had no control over the symptoms. Some people hold on to those moments and judge you harshly. I was told to let people know about my condition as a way to prevent judgements. I have decided my medical condition is no one's business. I just have to learn to manage the conditions and buildup a strong shell to deal with the consequences. If my manager needs to know about my illness to accommodate my work environment, then I am ok with this. As a person with FM, I will continue to be resilient and accept my limitations however, I won't go down without push back to find solutions. I want to thank you all for this thread because the recommendations are worth trying to improve FM symptoms. A million Thanks to everyone here. Cheers!!!
