How is your brain?

[Badnina]

My brain is too big for my head size. I will either have to donate half of it or get a bigger head.

It's all that knowledge that's trapped in there.

I was thinking about this topic on the weekend during my poker game. Appallingly poor attention span. Terrible errors due to weakness of the brain.

Of course it would have been nice if I had been a dealt a decent card once in awhile.

I sometimes have a great deal of difficulty concentrating on what people are saying to me.

It all began two years ago when I was 35.

I have good days and bad days. Went to see many doctors about it because I hated not feeling sharp as a tac.

Saw the following:


Allergist
Endocrinologist
Rheumo
Neuro (got an MS protocol MRI on my brain zoiks!)
Cardiologist (did a full on stress test. aced it)


Neuro says it may be stress (which I've had a shit load of with the end of my marriage) or it's something called Fibromyalgia

Chief symptoms of Fibro are "brain fog" (hi Mudcat), and fatigue.


I'm still not sure if I buy into this Fibro stuff but I do what I can. I eat very healthy (I've gone 80% organic) and I work out 4 times a week.

I always remember this: It could always be worse.

Well that is something I didn't think of. Actually do something about it besides bitch.

It presents a catch-22, doesn't it. Effectively analyzing and acting on the brain situation requires clear thinking but if I was thinking clearly there wouldn't be an issue to analyze and act on.
