Brain Fog ;/

[artluvr09]

I hate brain fog! It has been worse lately probably from the weird weather changes and all. I was wondering, Do any of you feel like you have trouble seeing? like I can see but It is like I cant focus on what I am looking at and I get lightheaded and brain foggy. like I get lightheaded and then I feel like my voice sounds weird like im in slomo or something.

Also I have been feeling really strange like im in a dream and everyday goes by without me realizing. I have also been feeling depressed like im so tired of being tired. Anyone else get like this?

Oh a tip for migraine sufferers:

I recently had a migraine a couple weeks ago and we figured out what makes them worse. Processed meats. I was having balogne sandwhich everyday and cheese curls and then I stopped having that since the migraine and I think it is helping. I also was feeling tense anxious and agitated for no r\eason for a little while and as soon as I stopped eating balogne and hot dogs I have been feeling relaxed.

Yes, processed meats can have lots of chemicals that can be migraine triggers such as nitrates/nitrites and sulfates. And some have MSG.

Yes avoid MSG, it's poison!

I find the brain fog hard - that is my main symptom. On the bad days it is like I am only 70% here. I'm not having such bad days at the moment, I am more like 86% here now. It is hard feeling that way. On one occaision I walked my daughter to school and just cried as soon as I got home for about 3 minutes - then pulled myself together. I think its doubly hard that nobody in my life really gets it so I'm choosing not to discuss it much with my friends and family. My husband gets it but I don't want him to consider me 'ill' so I don't discuss it much with him.

Brain fog is my worst symptom, because it means I can’t read. I can’t really read more than a paragraph before losing concentration and feeling a worsening of symptoms. Very frustrating!

When you say you have trouble seeing, d’you mean like blurred vision? I get that sometimes (especially with reading), I think it’s meant to be quite common with the condition.

As for being tired of being tired, I know what you mean!

Brain fog is definitely my worst symptom. I can relate to everything said above. Feeling like beeing in a dream, everything happening in slomo, only being 70% present. Being unable to read. Sometimes I get the feeling that being stationery most of the day makes it worse. But as soon as I move, the pots kicks in, and there's no relief. Just a vicious cycle. Haven't yet found anything that helps for me.

Brain fog and fuzzy vision. Affects me at work the most. Over the weekend I was driving and wanted to roll down the window.. Instead of pushing the button on my door I pressed the ac button down. It's those simple things that that I notice my Fam notice but the rest of my friends and coworkers don't always notice

However, I often wonder if really all my cognitive impairments result from "brain fog". Concerning the problems with reading f.e., it feels much more that I am "too nervous", rather than too foggy.

Yep, my mom doesn't understand why I can't go to college online since I wouldn't be standing but it's because my brain fog is so bad I can't think. I've been wanting to work on my novel and read books and I can't because it's so bad. I found that when I was on the adderall it helped a lot with brain fog but they won't put me back on it because they are worried about my fast heart rates even though it makes me feel better.

Exactly! for the vision its more like you can't see right things aren't blurry but my eyes can't focus on things sometimes. it is frustrating!
