Hi Grace,

It was forgetfulness, losing track of time, forgetting what I did yesterday, losing track of the date, planning to do something and not thinking about it again for several days. Going to the store and not remembering what I went for.

I had to keep a calender with everything on it and sometimes would forget to look at the calender. Having to make lists for everything. If I had to do something early in the morning, I had to tape notes over the coffee pot or I would forget it. Inability to concentrate.

In speaking or talking, unable to remember words I had used all of my life. I would watch a movie and a week later, not remember anything about it.
I was in a total fog.

I have always had an incredible memory and this was extremely distressing.
My face, head, neck & upper back were in terrible shape when I started the MT. I had some terrible physical problems and pain with this. But it seemed my mental capacity was greatly affected, also.

As the muscles relaxed more and more, my memory and the ability to keep up with daily "things" came back. I think this type of "Fog" is common with long-term health problems and chronic pain.
(I was not on any type of medication during this time other than OTC Tylenol. So medication was not the cause)

I don't know the medical explanation for this or even if there is one. This may not be what you're experiencing, but it was a real problem for me and many others per my MT.
The first appt. I missed, I was so upset. She just laughed and said not to worry, it happened all the time with her TMJD, Chronic pain, Fibro, etc., patients.
