Brain fog

Anyone else find it amusing when you do things or say things because of brain fog? Like today, I put the oven mitt in the dishwasher. And I once said “vibrating midget bird”, instead of hummingbird

What I do with brain fog

If I'm having a "wobbly" day where my brain doesn't co-operate and neither does my leg, I do competitions, quizzes, I read a lot and do crafts, and I've found that forcing myself to do these things whilst I'm sitting down and safe, I find that I get a lot done with very little effort and it makes th...

Brain fog, oops moments🤣

I went to my hospital appointment to see my MS consultant yesterday and we discussed medication side effects and cognitive issues. I take Amitriptyline 50mg at night and he suggested to reduce it or stop taking it as it causes tiredness, cognitive problems. Of course I will be monitored by the doc...

Hello everyone, I just have a question. I’m not sure if I have MS but I wanna talk to my doctor about it because I am in constant pain and I’m always extremely tired. I’ve tried taking vitamins and immune boosting supplements but nothing works. In 2007 I had a TIA stroke and was told I have three calcified areas on my brain and white matter change . I was also told I have fibromyalgia, but I don’t believe it. I am in constant pain and always tired, brain fog, trouble concentrating. Could it possibly be MS??

Brain fog or worse

Does anyone else have the worst brain fog? Ive always been a list maker. Now I make the list and forget where it is or forget to even make it. Then I'll find the pen and paper.

Good evening everybody so my symptoms are still here. I have recently started doing turmeric and a super B supplement for my nerve damage and it seems to be helping my normal pain level is four but with turmeric and the super B supplement along with my normal prescriptions from the doctor Dropped my normal pain level to a number two on the pain scale my flareups are still severe, but they happen less often, and this is coming from a person that apothecary was a bunch of bow honky but I decided to give apothecary a shot got the 250 apothecary book and noticed there were certain things in there that would help MS symptoms so I have been researching it more and more. I know everything that has happened cannot be reversed, but I have found a way to not notice it as much, and my pain level has dropped when I overexert myself the recovery time for my body is a little quicker. I have been researching a book. My grandmother wrote about the plants in herbs that grew in Vermont and I have taking it further by researching the apothecary book and the plants and native treatments and now I am starting to believe that the apothecary ways and the Native American herbalist books are not a bunch of croc some of the stuff in there actually works, but I still suggest listening to your doctors as well because I am still taking my normal prescriptions, but I am also finding the herbs and seasonings or plants that will help my prescriptions work better. I am almost completely off my pain medication. The brain fog is still there but at least when I am cooking, I can still remember what I am doing, but I can definitely tell if I miss a day with my routine. I just thought I had to share thatthe apothecary book and the Amish ways book actually have stuff that can help us and they are not a bunch of croc.
