D is for Brain Fog

Sorry for the delay in posting, but there have been some serious diseases in my family (for once not related to me), so I’ve been very busy and stressed dealing with that and haven’t been able to work on email/web.

So, on a lighter note, I have a great story about the effects of POTS on the brain. We all know that “Brain Fog” can be ever present in our daily lives.  This is a perfect example of a funny (yet kind of pathetic) story about brain fog .

I was recently visiting my in-laws and playing a game called "Scattergories”.  For those of you that have never heard of this game, basically you are given a list of categories and then assigned a letter.  You then have to fill in the categories using only words that start with the assigned letter.

The letter is D.  The keyword is “disease”.  You have 60 seconds.  How many can you come up with?  For me, NONE.  So hmmm, what did I forget?  Maybe that the MAIN DISEASE I have STARTS with a D??  Hello, Dysautonomia!  Wow, that was really bad.  My family decided to give me a point for it anyway to discount the brain fog!

Ugh, I miss my brain sometimes. 

To make you smile...
