I also think I might have Fibromyalgia. I rarely self-diagnose, but everything I've read and been told - it sounds like I have it.
People describe a fog and it sounds like what I have.
What's worse is people don't believe me.
They don't believe I'm losing my mind.
They don't believe I have trouble thinking and talking and remembering stuff.
It's like I tell people when it comes to me learning to drive - I don't feel safe driving.
I zone out a lot and just stare blankly into space, not seeing or hearing anything happening around me.
Now imagine that happening while I'm driving >Bu
My mother has fibromyalgia.
Actually it has a very broad definition (literally means pain in your fibers) and there are many different clinic cases that are labeled as fibromyalgia. And that's why they never found a root cause for fibromyalgia: because there are so many.
It's a fairly common illness, I don't see why people would be surprised you got it.
My mother thinks I have it too. She says I have all the the symptoms she had at my age.
I actually think my tiroiditis may have the same root cause as her fibromyalgia (autoinmunity) but we got broken in different ways.
And btw mental fog is a symptom of Hashimoto's tiroidits too.
I do suffer it.
And it is a pain in the ass.
I've gotten in trouble because of it. And before I managed to get it in control I was too scared to drive the car.
Anyway.
Those are not the only diseases which include mental fog in their symptoms.
I think most (or all) of autoinmune diseases do.
