- Everything hurts - and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
- You feel like the morning after but you didn't have a night before.
- Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.
- You get confused playing checkers.
- You finally have all the answers but you forgot what the questions were.
- You look forward to a dull evening.
- You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
- After painting the town red, you have to take a nap before applying the second coat.
- Your back goes out more often than you do.
- You consider a discussion of bowel problems interesting conversation.
- You know what's on TV at 3:00 am.
- Dialing long distance wears you out.
- You stop to think and forget to start again.
- You find yourself smiling at this list.

ah, LS, that's great! i love it!
i think my friends and mother really "got it" (in regards to the cognitive issues) when i said that reading a fashion magazine was too confusing for me (note: aside from the obvious low brain strain of a fashion magazine, i will also point out i can read a fashion magazine with the best of 'em when not sick. it's like a sport to me! which one, you ask..... Vogue, Cosmo, Elle, Marie Claire, Harpers Bazzar, another one? Um. Yes. All of the above!  ) checkers? that would sound like rocket science on those fibro-fog days!
