I have a computer program to help me, because I can't remember most of the details. I carry lots of papers of printouts with me, highlighted to see what I have to do next. I do lots of work over again, because I forgot I'd done it. I am trying to expand my brain power. My fibromyalgia is a chronic muscle pain related to arthritis, has to do with sleep deprivation and stress levels.
Naps are necessary until more normal sleep is restored.
This has cleared considerably with a life style change, and stress reduction. I am still a very busy person, I find using the computer a big help in my handicap in spelling, writing and numbers. There is the Quicken Program, which keeps my checkbook, It is different somehow, doing it on the computer, than trying to do it alone. Nancy had the same thing at work, she will have to tell you about it, but the two incidents seemed very similar when we finally each discussed it. I do have to say, that a life style and stress reduction changes are very necessary.
