The Difference Between Brain Fog and Forgetfulness by S.E. Carson


Many people who live with invisible illnesses such as (Panhypopituitarism, FIbromyalgia, MS) or chronic pain often experience Brain Fog.
It's not that a person is being forgetful but they are dealing with physical symptoms which makes life harder to function. Amazing, intelligent people who are doing the best they can.
Remember how impossibly exhausting it was to run your meeting the last time you went to work sick? Brain fog is a lot like that, except it persists. A fog can linger for several days, sometimes even weeks.
Please read the article below. It may help raise awareness for people who don't often speak up for themselves and identify as having health issues. Sometimes it may take them longer to reply but please be patient and not dismiss them, show empathy instead of disdain.
One day it could be you.
