Fibro Friday: Blank


Would you all like to know the real reason as to why I haven't been blogging lately??? (Well, one of the reasons.)  Memory...or lack of it.  I think of a really cute post or something funny to write and then I forget.  By the time I make it to my computer, the thoughts are gone.  

As an example, I was just writing a post for another day.  In the middle of writing it, another post came to mind and now it's GONE!!!!  Why didn't I write it down???  I cannot remember what I wanted to write about next (hence, prompting this post)

One night, I wrote the cutest poem (well, at least I thought it was cute) about my little A. and the joys of having a toddler who only wants mommy.  I was way to tired to get up and write it down at that moment, and now I am sorry about that.  I went over it several times in my head so that in the morning I could remember it and guess what...GONE! 

It is so stinkin' fustrating to have these great thoughts and the next instant they are gone.  That is part of the Fibro Fog.  I have learned to live with it and some days are better than others, but it makes me feel like I am becoming senile.  It is an aspect of FM that not a lot of people understand.  I can be looking at a table and say "ok, it is square, has legs and chairs" but cannot remember the word "table."

So friends, please bare with me, I am not going crazy or weird, it's just my memory!


Senile:
adj.
  1. Of, relating to, or characteristic of old age.
  2. Relating to or exhibiting memory loss or mental impairment associated with aging.
  3. Geology. Worn away nearly to the base level, as at the end of an erosion cycle.

I hate my re-memory too. I feel like my kiddos are sucking little pieces of my brain out a little at a time. Forgetting the words is the worst!
