RE: re: The fog..../Caroline

[Guest guest]

My fog is always there as well. It started before I finally broke down and

started taking meds so I know that mine is not related to medication. I feel

like a 7th grade drop-out now and I belong to Mensa. Talk about doing a 180!

I don't think mine so much 'hits', it's just always there, day in and day

out. I might be a bit worse during a flare, but it's hard to know. I know my

daughter thinks it's because of my meds, but I know that meds or not, I

always have it, no better or worse with or without meds. It seems to me that

one day...long, LONG ago I was a 'normal' person with even above-average

mental capabilities, and the next I was positive that I was coming down with

alzheimers. I could think of no other explanation for all of the strange

things going on. I repeat, that in my opinion it is even worse than the

pain. It is so limiting. Not to mention, so embarrassing at times. I can't

really blame people, especially people who don't know me, for treating me as

'slow', but there are times I just want to shout...Hey!! I have an IQ of

152, I am NOT stupid!!! But, of course, one cannot do such a thing, and

anyway, I have to wonder if my IQ would even test out at 100 now. I pretty

much doubt it.

Peace and Love

Caroline

It is strange. The old fibro fog hits at the wierdest times. I don't even

have to be in pain or have other symptoms at the time. It is like my brain

short circuits. Like a computer that just does not want to work right.

Just a comment.
