Fibrofog

Millions of individuals that suffer from fibromyalgia suffer from a mental complication known as "Fibro Fog". Those that experience this condition suffer from many uncomfortable symptoms. These include varying degrees of pain, moderate to severe fatigue, and sleep that is not only usually disturbed on a regular basis but also considered to be non-restorative.

Fibro-Fog is one of the more difficult symptoms to deal with (and explain) for those of us who live with fibromyalgia day to day. Fibro fog is a tenuous, cognitive impairment that is not psychological in nature. It is also NOT psychosomatic. Fibrofog is real and it is annoying.

Fibro fog’s symptoms

Here are some of fibro fog’s symptoms:

short term memory loss

difficulty remembering where you put things

difficulty remembering plans

difficulty with language, including trouble holding conversations, understanding conversations, and expressing thoughts

difficulty finding the "right" word to use in conversation

trouble remembering simple numbers

transposing letters and numbers

trouble concentrating and focusing

trouble retaining new information

Just like fibromyalgia, the causes of fibro fog are not known. Perhaps it’s due to a lack of sleep, poor nutrition, depression, decreased oxygen flow to the brain, certain medications or some other cause. The fact is that managing fibrofog is more important than trying to figure out what caused it. The condition can really be a sticky one to contend with.

Many find that sticking to a regular routine, i.e. going to sleep and waking up at the same time each day works well for them. Others practice relaxation techniques to ensure that stress is kept at bay. Still others make sure that exercise is a part of their day-to-day lives so that they raise their endorphin levels and manage their depression and pain naturally.

Fibrofog affects about both women and men who have fibromyalgia pain, though it tends to hit women more often. Women between the ages of 30 and 50 are most likely to be affected by fibrofog. Episodes of fibrofog typically last only a few days, though sometimes severe fibrofog can last for weeks or even months.

Fibrofog causes

As stated previously, fibro fog is typically a result of sleep deprivation and complications associated with living day to day with chronic pain. In addition to these two culprits, it is also believed that the condition comes as a result of a decrease of the oxygen that travels to the brain.

Changes that occur in the central nervous system may also result in this cognitive complication. Many individuals that suffer from appropriate nutrition or nutrition complications may also experience this cognitive issue. It has also been established that certain medications may have an impact on whether or not an individual develops this cognitive issue.

Many are under the impression that fibro fog is a psychological based condition that is experienced by fibromyalgia patients. The truth is, it is a physiological condition that occurs as a result of physical complications. 

Pain relief

Other ways to help cope with fibro fog include:

1. Eating well. Proper nutrition is a key component in managing fibromyalgia in general and has been shown to make a difference in sharpening the mind. A diet high in healthy fats such as EFAs (essential fatty acids) such as those found in certain fish (salmon, tuna), nuts and avocado, vegetables and low in sugar, processed foods will go a long way towards helping you find your way back to better health.
2. Get restorative sleep. Purchase a high quality mattress. Use pillows to provide extra cushion in sore spots and limit the consumption of caffeine and/or food before bedtime.
3. Repeat yourself. Repetition will help you to remember things better. Repeat things over and over so you’ll be more likely to keep them fresh in your mind.
4. Write stuff down. Put it in your calendar, in a notebook or on sticky notes. Keep a notepad near your fridge or your phone. You can even use a calendar or notepad function in your computer.
5. Keep your mind active. Read books. Do puzzles. Play brain games. Keep your mind engaged in activities that will exercise it. Remember the old adage “Use it or lose it!”
6. Be gentle with yourself. Don’t stress when you can’t remember something. That will make things harder for you. The best thing to do is learn to relax and you will then be able to recall things easier. If not, don’t worry.
