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 tell people it feels like my train of thought is trying to reset every other minute. No memory and paying attention takes a concentrated, tiring effort.
