I am with you 100%. Brain fog from day one along with several other symptoms. I am (was) a career bookkeeper. The kind that would balance books to the penny as my mother taught me. Now I cannot do any, and I mean any, math. In my head or on paper. [This has cost us $1000s in errors made in our business.] As a log in security question I was asked what 9x7 is. I couldn’t do it from memory of my times tables or the process to figure it out. Don’t even try to give me a phone number unless it is 2 numbers (max) at a time. The spoons? As I said, I’m working on it, but only in general terms. ST said to break up tasks into parts and add in the positive breaks in between. I try. But I’ve always been a finish anything you start kind of person, so attempting to split a task into parts doesn’t work so well. But I try. My husband and I turned the TV off about 15 years ago and switched to reading. Reading is difficult now. If it is anything technical and more than a few paragraphs, you can forget it. A couple hours usually to get through one article. Novels are easier because it just flows and is entertaining. Don’t usually remember it but I know I enjoyed it. I was a very slow reader from childhood. I didn’t know what slow was. What may have taken me a few weeks to read before it takes me months now. Uggghhh. I also have been writing a weekly column for our local paper since 2013. It was fortunate for me, not the paper, that they reduced the size of the paper and can only accept 400 word articles. Mine were typically 600-700. I have written only a few original articles in the last four years. Mostly I take old articles and edit them down. It’s been working. But I cannot focus to put my jumbled thoughts into new original pieces. Even so, writing (typing) is the best way for me to communicate because I can think about what I want to say and take time to organize my thoughts. One on one conversations ared horrible because I am always searching for words and rarely find them when I need them. Uggghhh. I could go on, especially for someone who understands. Thank you for your time. It’s been enjoyable talking. I am a people person and i don’t get enough people time.

Hey there. I’m up from my 12 hour Bear nap. Is your name Susan? Sorry for asking but I’m sure you posted it in a Chat. So hard to find things. I laughed at “ Don’t usually remember it but I know I enjoyed it”. I do get that. So you and your husband don’t watch TV at all? Oh my poor feeble mind couldn’t handle not having those DUH moments watching and nothing intellectually going on upstairs. lol. My fiancé is sports guy so he gets big screen in my living room. I get bedroom and movie channels. His mom not visiting (has been for a long while) has her soaps etc in my spare room. So you write. Very interesting. What type of articles do you post? I like reading some too. Books if really interesting. More on Learning Articles. Like LC!! I am amazed how not many understand or even know about LC. I personally think my fiancé has it minimally. Brain fog and some fatigue. That’s another story in itself. I will share later. Going to veg brain for an hour. Getting a headache. 🤕

I only experience physical fatigue, so I appreciate your detailed description of your Brain Fog. Like so many comments on this site, yours provides me with a sense of the range and severity of LC’s impact on people’s lives. I’ve realized that, by comparison, my symptoms are mild, and I’m grateful for that.
