How Has Fibromyalgia Affected Your Memory? How Do You Deal With It?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
San Francisco, CA

Over the years I've noticed that it's gotten difficult to recall things. Recently I've been getting burns in the kitchen because I forgot a lot was hot or other things like that. When my kids come to me with homework I have difficulty helping them. I haven't been able to get treatment for my fibromyalgia. How bad will it get?

Some days I'm fine, other days I feel like my head is just full of sawdust. I forget words, dates, appointments,names. I think it is the worst thing about Fibro.
