Fibrofog: Fibrofog

» jlkd - Fibrofog

It doesn't seem like you were suffering from "fog" at the time you wrote this! I knew I'd been suffering this from time to time and you did a great job of sharing examples that make a lot of sense to me now. Lack of tolerance for noise and loud TV/stereo are one of the things I've noticed. I've also experienced job & benefit loss because of inability to focus as needed to produce the expected sales volume and results. Neither employer offered part-time career positions, so I had no choice but to resign. When my symptoms were slight, I was a super sales person and it was hard for others to understand my flare ups and lack of results...as you stated, "brain fog" in its various forms can last for months. I really felt dumb. Though as time has progressed (2 years post diagnosis) I continue to learn to try and be a little more easy on myself and realize that I'm not alone in all of this....Thanks for your articles!!
