Fibro Fog – Is This a Form of Dementia?

I always jump out of joy when my clients compliment me. Saying my program has helped the to improve their health positively. And has also made their lives much happy.

This is especially true of my Fibromyalgia program feedback. The same theme is often repeated – my program helped where nothing else did, starting with the fact that I consider fibromyalgia to be a medical condition.

It is no longer surprising to me that many doctors STILL don’t treat fibromyalgia, whose main symptoms include chronic pain and fatigue, as the disease that it is. They often misdiagnose it as depression (this is a symptom of fibromyalgia – not the cause), if they even diagnose it at all. Many still believe that the patient is making it up or it’s some sort of psychosomatic cause.

The daughter of one such client wrote to me, telling me that her mother, who was suffering from some form of dementia and was being tested for Alzheimer’s was also suffering from fibromyalgia. The pain medication prescribed wasn’t working and seemed to actually contribute to the mental confusion her mother was experiencing.

This happened after following my program regularly. Her mother’s memory problem and language lapses have also been jointly cured with joint pain and chronic fatigue dissipate.

How could a program intended for one condition treat another? In short, this can happen with many of my programs – many of them are designed to provide the body with the proper amounts of oxygen. It’s understandable that more oxygen to one area will also mean more oxygen to another.

In this instance, however, it’s more than that. This is because another symptom of fibromyalgia, while not as well known, can still be just as exasperating to deal with. This is called fibro fog. Sufferers of fibro fog can experience one or more of the following: short-term memory loss, clouded thinking, intermittent language lapses and difficulty concentrating.

It is just a mystery. Just like fibromyalgia fibro fog too doesn’t have a definite cause.

Many theories are formulated by experts, but the so far proposed theories are lack of oxygen to the brain, lack of delta wave sleep (deepest level of sleep) and side effects of certain medications (among them, ironically, medicines to treat fibromyalgia pain).

When one cannot go into deep sleep, the brain will not be able to sort through all the details that is kept in the conscious mind. And this can lead to memory loss. You can’t say that the memory is affected but it is the difficulty remember the detail. Pain from fibromyalgia can be caused from lack of sleep.

While the above symptoms of fibro fog do seem to mimic Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, one should note that fibro fog is a physical symptom of fibromyalgia and is not a degenerative disease. This means that if one can clear up fibromyalgia symptoms, this one will dissipate as well and “normal” thinking will occur again.

Other methods include sleeping well, you can try a fan or a “white noise.” Start taking notes – carry around a small notebook or PDA and take notes often. Not only will you have the information available later but the act of writing helps commit the thought to memory. Repeating words is also quite helpful.

You can also seek the consultation of a physician to rule out the possibility of Alzheimer’s or any other form of dementia. Apart from this you can choose a quiet place to work you should avoid all distractions.

You can also involve in games like crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles and chess. This will activate your brain a lot and helps you with your memory and concentration.

You can also exercise on a regular basis as it is highly recommended. But moderate exercise is the requirement. You can get your blood pumping to get that oxygen to the brain. Rigorous exercising can actually make ibromyalgia pain worse.

My programs are all natural and will definitely work. The breathing and relaxation exercises in my fibromyalgia program is uniquely created for the treatment. Moreover, if you also affected by any kind of dementia the you should make use of my dementia program which about to be launched.
