I think "brainfog" can be simply a result of our medications and extreme fatigue… Grace. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Erina wrote: > Leslie, don’t despair I have been there too .

Hi Erina! That’s the first time I’ve heard someone use the term brainfog because of Lupus. A relief too! Sometimes I’ll just be driving along. I do have a destination, but it can take an awful long time to get there. I once forgot to go to the bank twice in the same day. I did manage to drive by it both times though. But yeah, it gets very depressing when you have so much fatigue. And fatigue just comes with the territory. Then the depression brings more fatigue…. And Leslie, where are you, hunny? I don’t see your name on any new posts. Hugs, Maggie

Hi all! Just pooping in to catch up on how you all are. We are going to attempt to brighten our world, by finishing the task of painting our ceilings a lovely sky blue – the dining room is the last to go and has been dragging everything down. (Of course when that is all done we get to finish the moldings!) So I am bracing myself for a trip to Home Depot – I know I needn’t explain that one… The depression has lifted somewhat, vitamin shot helped, but still having a serious battle with it. Doc says ‘hormones’ and I wanted to slap him!!!!! I have forced myself up and put on loud music and danced around and tried to get the blood flowing, but the back/neck spasms and stiffness have been really bad – as have the knee & hip, so it;s not pretty to watch! Erina, brainfog is exactly the term I use! It comes out of nowhere and is thick as peanut butter sometimes. The other day I was having a bad spell and the tears were literally spurting out – just like in the cartoons – I swear and it just cracked me up and shut me up! Have a great weekend everyone – HUGS Leslie <JD…@webtv.net> wrote in message

Sky blue ceilings – conjuring up images of an old Victorian. It’ll be great when it’s done. Just having a room done will be a big boost. Just knowing one project is finished will feel really good. Hormones? How about keeping a chart? If it is hormones it should cycle. If not it won’t follow any pattern. (Even if you are PM it should still cycle.) Then take that to the doc. Brainfog. I put a tool down and have no clue where it is. Forget finding keys. I just call my husband at work and ask him where they are. Thank goodness all body parts are attached. Can you see me calling him and asking where I put my left hand?? LOL Bev "Chaos Hill" <mrsmu…@hotmail.com> wrote in message

There used to be a gadget for attaching to keys; you whistle at it and it whistles back. Worries the ### out of a dog! -- Andy [Chair, N E Lupus Group] See http://www.northeastlupus.org.uk for more!
