Suffering from Fibromyalgia means you have good days, when the pain is bearable and bad days when the pain takes over. But most days are in the middle, not that you know which sort of day you will have. Sometimes it's not the pain that makes it hard to cope, its worrying you will forget something important. I can't make a decision like before either, so if I didn't have a family to rely on I don't know how I'd manage.
One important thing I struggle with is medication, have I taken some, or not! Remembering to order a new prescription is something I have to carefully monitor, so I don't run out of tablets.
It gets very frustrating as I had a really good memory, before my diagnosis I even went to see my GP to tell her how worried I was. She offered me a memory test that they use for alzheimer patients, but told me if was so easy I wouldn't have a problem passing it! So I decided not to take the test, then when I read about the cognitive problems sufferers have, it was a big relief.
Now I have to find ways to deal with the problems...........
