Passing the Time

  • Reading Materials – you can also rely on books and magazines to keep you entertained. But consider the severity of your brain fog when deciding on the type of books or magazines to read.
  • Craft and Hobby Supplies – during a flare-up, you will not be able to do all the things that you want. Think of easy crafts or hobbies that can occupy your time during these down times.
  • Games & Puzzle Books – research shows that immersive video games can help to distract your brain from the pain that your condition brings. Just make sure to choose the type of game where the lights and noise are not too much for you to bear. Puzzles, crosswords, word finds, and Sudoku may be good choices for you.
  • Coloring Books – coloring books are not only for the kids. Adults can also use coloring books to pass time. Study shows that coloring books can help to relieve you of stress. It is also a great tool to bond with your kids. You do not need to use an actual coloring book to color. There are may mobile apps that work just like coloring books.
