Brain fog

Anyone else have a hard time remembering the simplest things? Or words? Like I can see the word in my head, but can't remember how to say it! I feel so dumb sometimes

Hey everyone 👋 I’m Dylan, a 38-year-old guy living with MS out here in Saskatchewan. I run a legal weed dispensary (yes, I’m that guy), and I use dark humor, sarcasm, and a whole lot of cannabis to get through the weirdness that is life with MS.I figured it was time to find a space with people who get it the fatigue, the brain fog, the “oh cool, my leg’s just doing its own thing now” moments. I’m just here to connect, share some laughs (the darker the better), and not feel like I’m the only one in the snow belt dealing with this.If you're in or around Saskatchewanor even if you're not say hi. I don’t bite. Unless it's a bad MS day and my jaw spasms. (Kidding. Mostly.)Looking forward to getting to know some fellow weirdos on this ride

Afternoon brain fog

I’m no stranger to fatigue and brain fog - but the last couple of weeks I seem to get hit HARD with it mid afternoon, like clockwork. I feel borderline drunk, (light dizziness, wonky vision) completely drained of energy, and of course can’t seem to think straight. Anyone else notice theirs comes at ...

Explaining fatigue and brain fog

Diagnosed in 2012. Cognitive and fatigue forced me to stop working. I’ve seen a lot of people asking about explaining fatigue and brain fog and I thought I would share how I explain it (and seems to work). Spoon theory is a great way to explain it. For fatigue. I’ve also explained like this. Every...
