When Progress and Good Intention Disappear into the Treacherous "Brain Fog"

Why does it feel like FOREVER since I have had anything intelligent to say? Every time I get a semi-coherent train of thought going, something happens to cause a ripple in the atmosphere so great that my brain in erased completely, leaving me with just a vague feeling that I once had something of substance formulating there.

Maybe it is because I am just coming out of a two week flare-up I brought on by over doing it at the gym.

Maybe it is because it has been many nights since I have been able to put together more than a couple of hours of deep, restorative sleep.

Maybe it is because…

Because…

Uhhh, I forgot what I was going to say here.

Maybe it is because there is a lot happening in the world of Fibromyalgia right now and I can’t focus on just one thing long enough to write about it.

Maybe it is because it is cold and rainy in San Diego right now, and if I wanted to live where it was cold enough to freeze my muscles with pain I wouldn’t be living in San Diego!

Maybe it is because instead of making myself eggs for breakfast yesterday, I went out and had coffee and a cheese danish – yeah that’s right – BRAIN FOOD!

Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, blah, blah, blah! Whatever!

Then I saw Letterman last night and I realized, it could be worse.
