CFS Newbie w/many Q's

Bella, I'm sorry to hear about your health problems. I imagine Chrohns is enough to deal with without having CFS on top of it. As for your question, YES, I definitely get the brain fog. It's extremely frustrating because I used to be a very organized person who was great at remembering everything. Now I literally have to write almost everything down. I haven't found a way to stop the brain fog, but I have found some coping skills. First, I keep a weekly calendar posted on my refridgerator and write down absolutely everything I have to do that week and I also keep a pocket calendar in my purse with the same information. I have found I stay more organized that way and don't miss things like appointments or my kids activities. Please do keep asking any other questions you have. Take care and I'm glad you found us.
