Brain fog is something I experience daily, probably hourly, if not more. I’m much worse of an evening, especially after I’ve taken my nighttime meds. A combination of pain, fatigue, medication etc means that I have cognitive impairment that means I often talk a lot of nonsensical bullshit. I am very lucky that my boyfriend can often decipher what I’m trying to say or finish my sentences for me.
With all that in mind, I thought I’d share some foggy brain rubbish I’ve spouted out lately.
Me: Austria and Belgia. No, that’s not right, is it?
Bf: No
Me: Bel-jamier. Is that it?
Bf: No. Belguim
Me: Oh, that makes more sense. I prefer Bel-jamier.

Me: Is that an ox or a buffoon?
Bf: A buffalo?
Me: That’s what I meant
Me: The other thing we need to do is put that on top of the clothes radiator
Bf: The wardrobe
You’re just saying that because of his smash

Bf: McDonalds?
Me: The chocolate
Bf: Maltesers?
Me: Them
I'm constantly using the wrong words due to my brain fog, today I said head instead of house. I can tell when my fibromyalgia is affecting me more based on how much I mess up what I'm saying, it's been pretty bad this week but that could be the lack of sleep from this wisdom tooth coming through.
Stiffy rocky is definitely my favourite hahaha!
Love this!!! This is totally me also! Hugs to you.💙💦
Mine is usually "the thing with the thing" or when I'm trying to talk about Waterstones and go on about the W book.
I'm so glad my OH can decipher what I'm trying to say.

Love this! I used to think I was the only one that did this until I got ill and learnt about brain fog being a thing, so posts like this make me feel relieved that it's not just me! Thank you!
Glad to read someone saying the stuff I say lol – I mis-read things too and always think I see swear words, the same with mis-hearing (what does that say about me??)
