Brain Fog

Post Reply New Topic

I do not know this myself, but my wife gets it, as do A and B in our circle. From what I understand, though it apparently is hard to describe to the outsider, it involves a kind of background noise in the brain, feeling fairly physical, that stresses and distresses like sitting [as I did yesterday] in a noisy cafeteria and blocks at least clear thinking.

So she will say, "having a liot of brain fog today" - and not be up for much of anything.

I constantly have brain fog. For my I think it's an ADHD thing.

Yeah, I get brain fog. I have been told that I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It seems to be connected. If I'm over tired or stressed my head just feels fuzzy and I can't concentrate. I accidentally got run over on a brain fog day. I just wasn't thinking straight.

I think I get this.

Go gluten free, cut out MSG and see how you feel after 2 weeks.

Trust me.

I get pretty singificant brain fog,. I can be extremely forgetful, and I will sometimes make a lot of errors and commit a lot of oversights when trying to complete relatively mundane tasks. The brain fog can really complicate my life at times. The worst is when it hits me really hard at work. I have ADHD-Inattentive type, so my issues on that front may may relate to that to an extent. I also have some pretty significant sleep issues, and often wake up multiple times (as in 5 or more) in a single night. That probably also plays a role, especially since my brain fog is often worse after I've I've slept especially poorly. I don't know if food intolerances play any role. If it does, I'm screrwed, because it's really difficult for me to make changes in my routine, especially when it comes to eating habits. Besides, I'm a vegetarian, and imposing further food restrictions on myself is probably not a good idea. I imagine it would make a world of difference if I could just sleep better at night.
