“Fibro fog” is one of those invisible symptoms that can be hard to explain, but incredibly real for those who live with it. Trouble concentrating, forgetting words, feeling mentally fuzzy… it can show up at the worst times and make even simple tasks feel overwhelming.
Sometimes it’s just mildly annoying. Other times, it can leave you feeling embarrassed, frustrated, or even anxious about your independence.
