I got lost!!

I am loosing the abililty to function well, again. I know I am headed for a major fibro flare. I have been hurting for months, but I haven't had the fog till yesterday. I am hoping I can rest soon. I have to go to school and then home for a nap then work. Wish me luck, today has to be better right?

Another time I went with my husband to return a rental car. Of course we had to take two cars so we could get home, so I had to drive one. He said to just follow him. Once again, this was an area I was very familiar with. Well, he got too far ahead of me and I couldn't see him. I was literally screaming at him in the car (even though he couldn't hear me). He was panicked because he thought I was lost. I found the rental place and waited for him (I didn't have a cell phone) but he kept driving around trying to find me.

Very scary.

I usually forget what direction something is in and I have to stop for a minute to remember which way I should go.

Sometimes I will need to go someplace and drive somewhere other than where I was going. Like- if I need to go to Walmart I'll drive to my daughters school and thats scary.

I'm used to land mark directions. I had to follow my husband to the repair shop once. He was in his truck and me in my car. I was on his bumper the whole time. I have panic attacks when I drive. It's like the fibro fog hit me for just a few seconds. It happened to me on the PA turnpike in the Allegheney tunnel the first time. Scared the beejeebees out of me. It was like where the heck am I and what am I doing here? Terrifying. I had to pull over to quit shaking.
