Brain Fog is undeniably one of the most formidable symptoms when navigating the complexities of a chronic illness like Fibromyalgia, particularly since it can be triggered by shifts in weather. The fall season, with its wet, foggy, and overcast conditions, seems to offer the ideal environment for Brain Fog to thrive. One of the most arduous challenges lies in the powerlessness to prevent or treat these symptoms. The only recourse is to endure the crippling and disabling effects of Brain Fog.
There's no magic cure or pill for alleviating the symptoms of brain fog. It's not something one can simply sleep off and wake up feeling reenergized and ready to conquer the world again.
Brain fog disrupts daily activities, as it hinders both mental and physical functionality. Often, the only recourse is to rest and wait it out.
Ongoing migraines, impaired cognition, vision problems, and chronic fatigue are just a few of the symptoms of brain fog. These are only a fraction of the overall symptoms experienced by those with living with Fibromyalgia.
As we enter the fall season of 2023, brain fog has chosen to thrive, seemingly without me. I find myself watching from the sidelines of my own life, envisioning an energetic version of myself engaged in tasks that my body and mind won't currently allow. I'm compelled to lay still, to slow down, and to reconnect with my inner self. Left with no choice, I embrace the beauty of Mother Nature as she graces my balcony window with rain, sharing her soul's desires through thunder.
