Brain Fog, reading, and music

I have just been reading an article by a woman whose fibromyalgia caused her to partially lose the ability to read music.  Apparently, much like academics having trouble reading, musicians have trouble understanding music the way they did before they were diagnosed.


I was intrigued by this article, because I am having a terrible time reading and understanding much of anything.  I haven't been able to read any books, but can digest short articles as long as they aren't too technical.  You can find the story about the musician here.  There are lots of comments at the end that are interesting also.

Try not to be too discouraged if you are struggling with reading and comprehending things that were previously like second nature.  This is all a part of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
