Oh, I hope it doesn't come to blood transfusions. So, I will be careful with whatever I do. But thank you for your response.

I was reading about chronic conditions, specifically; chronic inflammation and I learned that, because the body's constant response to the chronic conditions causes the immune system to burn out, one can experience "brain fog" as the result of a lack of fresh oxygen in the blood. In severe instances some have benefitted from blood transfusions.

I was told my memory loss and brain fog was side effects from Lyrica.

Just sent some drawings and paintings to Australia.
Working on a CD cover for a singer friend now.
Staying focused on a project helps with memory and helps keep the thoughts of pain at bay.
