Study Shows Lower Memory Recall Ability

Okay, a new study has been released! We’ve been found out officially!

Sufferers of fibromyalgia are slower than the general population to respond when asked to recall details. Surprise, surprise… The following link from the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology shows the results of memory recall tests that were administered to fibromyalgia patients. Apparently 49% of patients tested were listed as impaired. What the test didn’t show was how many of those patients were on medication. Hmmm…

Anyway if you’d like to be tested for cognitive ability in reference to fibromyalgia, you should ask your doctor about taking the Stroop Test. I already know I’m in trouble on this one - I couldn’t even recall a phone number that I’ve called hundreds of times today. I am eternally grateful to Verizon People Pages for making my phone number searches easy. Now if only someone could invent a soundless device to keep track of my keys…
