Vol. 36
Dear Reader,
I have what I can only refer to as mush brain. Words don't form and I lose my thoughts in the middle of talking.
Certain
medications can do this; however, I've gotten off almost all my
medications.
I
used to be smart, witty and easy to talk to. Now, I'm quiet,
forgetful and not at all myself.
Was
it years of being on the terrible medication Cymbalta? Is it my
fibromyalgia or is it something else? No one seems to know, or really
care for that matter.
I
always answer the “How are you” at the doctor's office: “I'm
always in pain, I never feel good and my brain is mush” and it's
never ever addressed and when it all is, I'm told to get more sleep.
Which is great advice except I can't sleep because I'm in pain and
never feel good and for some reason, when I'm trying to sit and relax
to go to sleep, my brain actually works. I don't get it and it's
frustrating.
Here
is a great article by The Cleveland Clinic about “Brain Fog”
