This week we are raising awareness about the debilitating symptoms of ME/CFS. The experience of cognitive dysfunction cannot be equated to the occasional forgetfulness and lapses in concentration experienced by healthy individuals, rather cognitive dysfunction is a complex and distressing symptom. The CDC states “Most people with ME/CFS have trouble thinking quickly, remembering things, and paying attention to details. Patients often say they have “brain fog” to describe this problem because they feel “stuck in a fog” and not able to think clearly.”

🧠🌫 Some days I just can’t, uh ... what’s the word? ... oh, ya know, that thing? where it’s like pictures that mean stuff, but inside your head? and then they come out of your mouth as sounds? THAT thing. I can’t do that. • #brainfog #cognitivedysfunction #lupus #chronicillness #chronicfatigue #chronicpain #systemiclupus #disability #spoonie #spoonielife #daffyduck

When you have to add the basic tasks of living to your to-do list because you know the brain fog will roll in and you’ll forget how to human if you don’t, and you’ll end up crumpled in an overexhausted and underbloodsugared heap with nothing accomplished by noon. ~ I’m not saying this dry-erase board has saved my life more than once, but I’m not NOT saying that. ~ #brainfog #cognitivedysfunction #fatigue #chronicfatigue #chronicillness #lupus #systemiclupus #autoimmune #autoimmunedisease #spoonie #spoonielife #todolist #dryerase

I really wish people would realise that Animals are petrified of Fireworks 🎇 Domestic & Wild, & that they can actually also be bad for people, not only for anyone who has something like PTSD, but people suffering from cognitive functioning problems - loud unexpected noises can be hell. It's not as if it's only because it's Halloween either, 3 weeks or so now we've had this, & it will be until January. #fireworks #halloween #stopit #doncaster #PTSD #wildlife #pets #noise #explosions #cognitivedysfunction (at Doncaster)
