Hello,
I am having trouble controlling my attention (weird right?). I have always had a problem with it, but as my chronic pains worsen and my fibro fog kicks in, I cannot listen to people. I am not there. If there is a tv on, I hear my fiance talking, I don't know what he is saying, it is like he is a mile away in a tunnel. He has been with me for years, so he is used to my being distracted (he loves to ask what I saw that was shiny when he knows I am not listening any more.) However, now I see the hurt in his eyes when I can finally turn to him and say "what?". Sometimes it takes me so long to acnowledge that he talked, he doesn't even remember that he had said something.
I see so many drs and specialists, and take so many pills, I don't have the time or money for mental health professionals and more pills. Any advice on how I can control this without meds?
My pain prohibits my yoga nowadays, and I am sure that was a help when I could do it. But I'm out of ideas!
Please Help!!!!

Thanks,
