I keep lists all the time or I forget things. No shopping for me unless I have a list with me. So yes, it is normal. I always double check that I have my keys in hand or in my purse before I shut my car door too> LOL.

Yes, I get it. I remember cuddling my only grandson and realised I couldn’t remember his name. I was mortified, thought I was going mad.
Also, at work, I work with about 20 other people, I always forget their names, it is quite embarrassing really as I have known them all for over 2 years.
my meds are Enbrel and methotrexate. I need to find out about the CBD stuff. My daughter bought it for me . I need to check with my doc about it . I worry because it seems the regular rh doc just wants tradition meds precribed
omg, I had a meltdown this past Monday. Brain fog reared its ugly head (my first experience with it). I could not do my paper work at my job. I could not do my time sheet which was simple math.I did also notice leading up to all this it seems like it was progressive and than boom. I was home when it happened. I was having my worst body flair up ever.It was like my body was exploading. Everything was hurting and I was so frustrated because 2 weeks ago I saw my rh doc and he was thrilled at how good my blood work was and then my meltdown .This has been a very bad week.To be honest I cant even tell what is what anymore. Is it the rh fibro or both. My depression level isn't good. I see my primary doc tomorrow.I am so mixed up and my brain is definitely in a fog.I honestly do think my stress level is off the charts. Ill post how my appointment with my primary doc goes.So sorry to go on like this but I am worn out confused depressed and more. hugs everyone. and I think I found this group at a good time
