Brain Fog

What is everyone's experience with brain fog? Alot of people talk about forgetting and things of that nature, but what I have is different and I'm not sure it's brain fog.. It's like my head feels full and I feel almost drunk.. like a little depersonalization..is that brain fog? Can it be from not detoxing? My LLMD didn't mention detoxing

Hi Hezzer, I was a brain fog queen and on occasion still have it, but it's not anywhere near where it was a yr ago.

What I found helped me the most, was taking a natural anti inflammatory and doing sinus irrigation with saline (salt and warm water).
Brain fog is a symptom of so many illnesses where inflammation is present

I use Turmeric. It's worked wonders for me. And it's not expensive at all.

Wow, I didn't expect a spice. Any particular brand you can personally endorse? Also, how much and with/without food?

this is the brand I use

but they are Canadian so not sure you can get it in the US.

and i take it twice a day with or without food. I drink a lot of water with it though. I don't take it daily, but when I have that inflammation feeling

Hi Hezzer,

I have the same brain fog symptoms as you and saxmar. I sometimes have trouble remembering words, spelling, etc. where I used to be so good.

But the disorientation and "I don't feel like I am here right now" are definitely my major brain fog symptoms.

hello everyone....i also have the brain fog. espcially at work..i have to sell carpet and other flooring and when i have to explain the process to my cutomers i stumble on my words and tend to sound stupid and then sometimes just sounds would come out. I am very educated at my job . the other day i could not get the right words out to explain the difference between to laminate florring and i had to call someone over to help me.

also just today I got confused with how many verticle vanes that i needed and i had to keep recountig and going over the sizes and it was really very simple but i made it more difficult in my head.

Has anyone get very overwhelmed my this and stressed out when not being alble to handle or deal with a stressful situation? and what do you do to try to orgainize and clear your head up to normality?

hezzer,
Brain fog is from the toxins released from killing the bacteria. I have had all the symptoms that everyone mentioned here. I was telling my husband yesterday that I feel like I'm in a fog, like I'm not really there, like I'm walking around in a dream state or something.

Then there are times when I feel intoxicated and clumsy, can't talk or type, forget everything and bump into everything. I don't drive when I'm like that because I've almost caused some accidents and I'm afraid I"m gonna hurt someone someday!!

Try some detoxing techniques like baths with epsom salts. Stay in until you sweat and then take a cool shower after to remove toxins. Make sure you drink water while you are in the tub. You might want to do this before bed cause sometimes I feel kinda bad right after but much better the next day.

Take care,
Dar

I get the derealization feeling, it sounds like you are low on seratonin- ask your doctor about cymbalta. It helped me A LOT.
