Awww, Kimbo, I am so sorry that it's gone beyond fibro fog for you! I'm also sorry that the meds cause such problems.
I'm back in fibro fog, myself. Been fighting it off for over a year and thought I had it well at bay, but the signs are unmistakable and undeniable now. Gryph and I are trying to make changes so that I can come back to normal--well, as close as I ever get to "normal"--and the major one is that he walks the dogs in the morning. That's extremely physically difficult for me, especially since the puppy's usually frantic and pulls really hard on the leash; I'm always afraid I'll fall down the steps because he's pulling so hard.
I also have to sleep more. There's just no way around it, even with caffeine. I have to sleep more.
Andrew, I agree with Jen that sometimes it's just better if a person can walk away from someone as difficult as your father is. I hope things get better for you!!
Oh! I'm also one who gets flustered at the cash register, so I set myself up a sort of system. The coupons are in the front of my cart (you know, where the kids sit?) with my bag, and the shopper's card is on my keychain in my pocket--I always carry my keys in my jeans pocket--so I choose a line with someone ahead of me, to give myself time to unload the cart; I give my card to the cashier first; and I give the coupons at the end. Then I pay with a debit card--never a check, and only rarely cash.
I still get flustered but not as much.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{everyone}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Love to you all!
