"Fibro fog" is the name commonly given to the cognitive problems that can go along with fibromyalgia syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome. These problems with concentration and memory can lead to confusion, losing your train of thought, or forgetting or mixing up words or details.
You can take steps to manage fibro fog.
* Write it down. Making a note helps you get a thought more firmly in your mind.
* Get treated. Other symptoms that commonly go along with fibromyalgia—including depression, pain, and lack of sleep—can also make it harder to concentrate and remember. Medical treatment for these other problems may also help your memory.
* Stay active—mind and body. Keep your mind working by doing puzzles, reading, or seeing a play to get yourself thinking. Moderate physical activity can increase your energy and help clear the fibro fog.
* Find ways to help you focus. Try breaking tasks up into small steps.

Chronic Fatigue in my experienced is associated with depleted glutathione levels. We all produce less Glutathione from the age of twenty but some people run low earlier. Toxins are sometimes associated with low levels because Glutathione is used up detoxifying the body. Any way taking Glutathione does not help because it is broken down in the digestive process. There are precursors that have been verified and quantified to increase Glutathione levels in our cells. Yep, it's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGlutathione is essential for cell health and all diseases start at some level of cellular dysfunction.
Any how have a look at what Doctors say.
