Default Memory loss, cognitive changes in Fibromyalgia

I've been reading about the brain changes seen on functional MRI studies. I recently left my job because I could no longer manage my work. I complained about pain, but I wouldn't admit to my co-workers that I was having cognitive challenges. I've had memory problems for a long time but now am having memory lapses, confusion, concentration problems. Also suffering from depression and anxiety quite seriously for the past year. I know this is part of fibromyalgia, but I'm very concerned about the future. Anyone have information or thoughts about whether these changes are chronic progressive or is there ever any recovery. I would like to go back to doing some kind of work, but I'm afraid that even the slightest thing can confound me. I was such a high functioning person so this is really hard to take.

Here is the recent GABA study:
