@kimm_moekotte@fibro_fairy People are different and the stage of fibromyalgia are different too when it’s more pain like disability , i go through all these stages some people lucky their symptoms not get worse so they can keep a career
“FIBRO FOG”is the term used to describe Cognitive Dysfunction (Brain Fog).
It is the feeling of being in a daze, making it difficult to take in and process information.
Problems include:
Short Term Memory Loss.
Difficulty following Conversations.
Poor Memory Recall.
Difficulty Recalling.
Poor Concentration.
What causes Fibro Fog is still unknown. It is apparent there is no real problem with the Mental capacities of People suffering with Fibro Fog but there are several Factors that could be at the root of these Cognitive Impairments.
They include:
CHRONIC PAIN: This can affect a region of the Brain critical for Learning, Memory and Emotional Processing.
SLEEP DISORDERS: The inability to get Deep Restorative Sleep impairs the ability to maintain normal Mental Efficiency and to recall information.
DECREASED BLOOD FLOW: Because Fibro off balances the Nervous System this causes changes in the Brains Blood Vessels which results in decreased Blood Flow and less Oxygen reaching the Brain.
PREMATURE BRAIN AGING: Fibro fog sufferers lose three times as much brain tissue which controls Memory and Concentration per year than healthy people the same age.
MEDICATION: A lot of common medication used for fibromyalgia can contribute to brain fog and make it worse.
Experiencing “FIBRO FOG” can be stressful and frustrating.
I hate the brain fog more than the pain and fatigue.
My anxiety levels go through the roof when I can’t concentrate, feel distracted, mix up words and am unable to form a complete sentence.

@goodreads These two echo each other (since Eger were Frankl's student). They show you a path to light when you're at your lowest.
As a person who's been through many traumas, have complex #PTSD, #Fibromyalgia, #chronicpain and more... I found them not only empowering, but reviving.
Who knows that there is 7 types of fibro pain,
Do you suffer with the whole 7 or is it just 1 or 2. As a fibromyalgia sufferer myself I suffer with most of them.
Every day can be a struggle. And it can be like fighting a never ending battle just to get through the day.

@fibro_fairy It’s heavy feeling 😔 for me I try to think of what still I can do sometimes I think if someone tells the same what I will say to help because usually we be hard on our self
Living with #ChronicIllness like #fibromyalgia often brings unexpected emotions—especially guilt.
#Guilt for being sick, missing events, feeling like a burden.
It's not our fault!
yet it weighs heavily!
Open communication is key—Share your feelings, even if they seem irrational.
We often take our pillows for granted, but they're crucial for #sleep.😴
Even a 1cm difference can affect quality sleep & #pain! With #Fibromyalgia#ChronicPain having a supportive pillow that matches your neck is A MUST!
My favorite? Solid memory foam (not all are the same)!💜
With #Fibromyalgia, It's easy to be harsh on yourself.. But you wouldn't do that to a loved one, so why do it to yourself?
You're just as important!🤗
Remember, in an emergency—you put your air mask on first!
So show #love to yourself first & set the best example.💜
#ChronicPain
I was beddridden for 2 years before I was diagnosed with #Fibromyalgia, 15 years ago.
My resilience kept me searching for answers to my #pain, despite disbelief from doctors and family.
Being called 'dramatic' and 'psychosomatic' are my most hated words.🤬
#ChronicPain is real.💜
In my #ChronicPain journey, I've often practiced Self-harm (inc. Self-degradation)..
But I've realized that it is as unacceptable as harming others!
#selflove and #selfcare aren't just practices, they're ethical #obligations to myself!
I'm #worth it!
And so are you!
#Fibromyalgia
Living with #chronicpain means treasuring good days but fearing the aftermath.
Constantly thinking to myself "Did I overdo it?" "does it mean tomorrow will suck!?"..😱
It's like living with a monster inside you, never knowing what will aggravate it.

Fibromyalgia neck pain can also cause severe pain throughout the entire body.
It can cause what feels like an electric shock, stabbing, radiating, grinding, pulsating and stiff pain that affects every single thing you do.
Other symptoms connected to neck pain can include vision impairments, muscle weakness, shoulder pain, headaches, numbness, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, tinnitus and TMJ.
Do you suffer with neck pain like this?
Is there any thing you find that helps?

Science proves that the end of an experience is what we remember most (like a lollipop after a doctor's visit).
With #Fibromyalgia and the #ChronicPain we endure, it's vital to use these tricks to trick ourselves into feeling better.🌟
End a dreaded task with something joyful!💜
'What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.'
As an educated woman, I'm not a fan of Nietzsche, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.😅😂
#Fibromyalgia#ChronicPain won’t kill us, but we must carry & grow from our pain and embody this phrase, making the best of our lives.🩷
@fibro_fairy I agree once I have stomachache and lower abdominal pain for two weeks it was awful when I checked in hospital nothing wrong now if it is stay for month I maybe I will go to clinic
Living with #fibromyalgia means navigating a foggy mind..😶🌫️
'#Fibro fog' affects #memory, #focus, and sometimes #speech.
It's frustrating, but I find that humor helps.
Laughing about my forgetfulness lightens the mood..
#Systems of notes & #lists are my go-to for staying on track
