You hurt all over, and you frequently feel exhausted. Even after numerous tests, your doctor can’t find anything specifically wrong with you. If this sounds familiar, you may have fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia makes you feel tired and causes muscle pain and “tender points.” Tender points are places on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms or legs that hurt when touched. People with fibromyalgia symptoms may have other warning signs, such as trouble sleeping, morning stiffness, headaches, and problems with thinking and memory, sometimes called “fibro fog.”
No one knows what causes fibromyalgia. Anyone can get it, but it is most common among middle-aged women. People who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases such as lupus and Graves disease are principally more likely to develop fibromyalgia symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no cure for fibromyalgia, but medicines and therapy can help you manage your symptoms. Getting enough sleep and exercising may also help.
Many people with fibromyalgia symptoms experience periods of unclear thinking or cognitive dysfunction. They experience forgetfulness, lose their train of thought, forget words or mix them up. These jumbled thoughts are what we referred to above as “fibro fog” or “brain fog”. There are a new basic memory and communication tips you can do that will help you deal with these episodes of “fibro fog”. Repeat things to yourself over and over again. Repetition will keep your thoughts in the front of your mind. Engage yourself by reading a book, completing a crossword puzzle or do a jigsaw puzzle to stimulate your brains memory. Keeping yourself away from noise distractions (like loud televisions or radios, or multiple conversations) will also help to keep your thoughts straight.
Note: You should always seek professional medical advice for any procedure or operation.
