To fog or not to fog...is that the question? | Arthritis Information

 

Brain fog comes from countless sources. I don't think that more women than men necessarily suffer from it. I do think men are reluctant to admit to having it. [It's like the medical literature, when they cite demographics and claim that with ABC disease, 3 times as many women........oh, please....it's just that women are more inclined to seek medical help. Men just wait it out until it's become a real problem.] 

 

Half the time I don't know whether mine comes from the drugs I take, just being blonde, or getting old. Maybe all three.

 

What's for sure is that I no longer multi-task - a recipe for disaster for me. Some days it's too taxing to even focus on one thing at a time, though I must and push myself in this regard.

 

What bothers me most is the apathy that comes with it. In the past I wouldn't be satisfied until something had been done to perfection. Now I've come to learn what "good enough" means and it suits me just fine.

Sam,

 

It was interesting but even more, it was impressive. What happened to the post by fluff? She could/should be a writer. None the less, I think that we often times confuse brain fog with being overwhelmed. I think of my brain as a computer. The more windows and programs are running, the slower the response and the more chance of freeze. Also the more used memory, the longer to find what my computer brain is looking for and in my almost 60 years, my computer memory is quite full. That's why sometimes, tomorrow I get the answer to a question I asked myself today.

I was just asking myself the same question:  what happened to Fluff1's piece?

 

I agree - she's an excellent writer.
