Coping with Brain Fog from Fibromyalgia

I work in the medical field and brain fog affects me once in a while, but when it does, I can’t seem to concentrate, think clearly, talk. I don’t do any vaccines when braking fog is active. I work with children.. I usually tell my supervisor and she is very understanding. But I haven’t figured out how to cope with it. Nothing helps.. I feel helpless. I feel like only sleep would help, but never had brain fog at home where I can sleep if needed. It’s so frustrating.

Lists and timers and reminders and calendar apps. I also have them all on my home screen so they're easier to see. I still get super frustrated when I can't think straight but I'm trying to be kinder to myself and treating myself how I would others

Lists and a reminder app on my phone. I would not survive without my lists!! My brain fog and forgetfulness is getting worse, due to other health issues. I get so frustrated and angry at myself. I can't do things that I used to do automatically without a list, nor more than 2 things at a time. For example: Thanksgiving meal. I had to have everything I was making written on the whiteboard. I had them categorized into steps and in order of when to do them. If I didn't do that I would have forgot things and probably burned something because I had too many things going at once. @TabbysMom I totally understand forgetting names of things. I do that constantly! It is so annoying.

Lists, lists & more lists. A daily "log" of things I have to do & attempt to be patient. That log of daily chores is a life saver. What drives me crazy is not being able to name an object. I can tell someone all about the object but not the name of it. So very annoying! Bless my roomie's heart, she just points to everything around her until I yell yes.
