Yes. You can.
Hi
I have FM, and I hate it. Things hurt constantly....but the worst part of it is how it affects my memory, particularly my short term memory.
It is affecting me at work now, in that there is a woman there who gets very cross if I can't "snap" out an answer immediatly about whether or not I dealt with a particular client, and if so when, and where is the paperwork, etc. I just don;t know at the moment she asks me, I honestly cannot remember. I feel pressured by her, and say "No, wasn;t me - doesnt ring a bell, etc." Because she demands an answer, etc., and then late I find that I DID deal with it - I just could not recall the info on the spot.
Its very frustrating, and truly make me doubt myeself many many times.
I feel I need to say something to her, and I am feeling emotional about it. I can't help it, and I hate it, and it is so new to me not to be able to recall every detail from every situation like I used to be able too.
I don;t know if I would be better off talking to her directly, or to my mananger.
Its such a small office, I feel I should go stratigh to the women herself. But I rather feel it will fall on deaf ears.
I don;t really know what to do, but its hurtful that she gets so angry and makes me feel like a numpty when I clearly am not. Ya know??
Does anyone else out there have the misfortune of suffering from FM, and if so - how do you find your memory, and how doyou cope? It gets to me sometimes.
To demonstrate how bad it is - for months I have been waiting for my followup visit with my specialist after a series of tests - and I couldn;t wait to talk to him about my memory loss as its a great concern. And what did I do? I forgot to bring up the issue. Almost laughable, but not when its me - makes me so mad at myself!:cry:
Any ideas anyone?
