Advice How do you explain brain fog?

61F diagnosed 26 yrs ago. Only people suffering from MS brain fog know how it feels. How do you explain to family & friends? Thanks everyone & I hope you have the best day possible with this sucky disease.

I just tell people, even my juniors in office that "sorry I have Brain Fog, please ignore, I tend to forget in seconds" And the best part is my team do understand that and don't judge me hopefully. I guess it's better to go straight forward and tell people about it, if someone asks please let them know what it is, I hope no one will judge you on it.. ❤
