But as far as the brain fog goes... have you been in any pain , or injuries?

To me, and again, my opinion only. The brain fog comes from the medications taken for fibro. A lot of people use 2-3 different things for certain symptoms, to me (my opinion only), that would be a cause for the "brain fog" so many complain about.
I take only OTC, (everyone is different) aleve & tylenol for my aches. It works for me.
Have you thought about CBT for your insomnia? Cognitive Behavioral Thearpy.
Neurofeedback can improve symptoms in some. Consult your neurologist since the cause for brain fog appears to be fibromyalgia in your situation. Take care.
My brain fog: difficulty concentrating, moody, lethargic -- it feels like I don't fully awaken
Symptoms:
- Difficulty getting out of bed due to a tired, lazy feeling (but, I do awaken without an alarm)
- The problem is mostly related to mental energy and not physical energy
- The lazy feeling continues through the day, but slowly diminishes as the day progresses
- By afternoon I am functional, sometimes feel pretty good
- In the evening I feel good
- Symptoms are very consistent and the wo
Hello~I would ask your doctor about fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, both can cause the brain fog. Fibro is diagnosed by pressing different "trigger points" I think chronic fatigue is diagnosed via blood work.
I had chiari decompression surgery @ the University of Miami in 2004. I also have fibromyalgia. The symptoms I'm about to describe confuse me as to which is causing it. I have episodes of sever brain fog mixed with poor motor skills. I have the normal fibro pain all over which I don't think has any relation to chiari. Can anyone please help me.
I get that every once in awhile, but to me, it's brain fog that does that. I have Bipolar and Fibromyalgia, which both cause brain fog... The vision never changes for though, so that is a little odd.
What testing have they done?
Other causes are adrenal exhaustion, food and chemical reactions, nutritional deficiencies, stress, depression, or conditions like Fibromyalgia. Treatment for brain fog depends on its causes. In some cases, treating illnesses or injuries may help. In other cases, counseling and meditation may prove more beneficial. Some people may find relief simply by getting more rest, eating a balanced diet, and getting adequate exercise. Please try the self care measures.
Started experiencing Brain Fog end of June 08 ( Brain fog = seemed like I was living in a dream.. hard to walk/balance sometimes). Got some blood work and and MRI early July 08. MRI of brain came back clean and blood work came back good. Stared experiencing tingling in hands and feet - end of Aug 08. Went to a neurologist, got an EMG nerve test done, found that I was showing signs of carpel tunnel in right hand. Getting more blood work done and an MRI on neck. This is driving me crazy...
It lasts up to 2 days each time and symptoms are not the usual hives, sickness or diarrhoea but a hangover/morning sickness, nausea, brain fog, poisoned feeling through my veins and my eyes go yellow.
I’ve ruled out : fibromyalgia, bad gut health, menopause, mental health and anxiety as I’ve tried treatments for most but no luck.
Would you describe it as "brain fog"? There are a lot of things that can cause that...allergies, pollution, exposure to toxins or mold, systemic yeast infections or other fungal infections, certain bacterial infections (like Bartonella), Celiac Disease, and some chronic conditions, like Chronic Fatigue/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Fibromyalgia, and a variety of autoimmune disorders.
I have it as part of my Lyme Disease and Bartonella so I know how frustrating it is.
Hi there. Brain fog is a characteristic feature of fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis. You need to consult a neurologist for investigation these conditions in you. Fibromyalgia is a chronic musculoskeletal condition characterized by chronic muscle fatigue and brain fog. it is also associated with trigger points or points in the body which are aimed at when treating pain by a pain physician.
Lymes disease or Infectious mycoplasmas. Symptoms right up that alley (total symptoms are all over body). Muscle aches? RA symptoms? endometriosis or hysterectomy? "brain fog"? stinging eye pain, ankle/shin pain?
research www.immed.org and search Autoimune Illness and Mycoplasmas. also research ILADS to have proper Lyme testing done w/ IGENEX labs for Borrelia Burgdorfer and coinfections of Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia, Rickesettia.
chronic pain in muscles and joints, ataxia, numbness in hands, feet and skin, fatigue and weakness, tremors, migraines, brain fog, chest pain (heart is fine with exception of tachycardia and arrhythmias), chronic tendonitis, and light, sound, temperature sensitivity. I have celiac disease and hashimotos. Fibro was ruled out as I didn't have the pressure points. After years of finding no answers, I begin to wonder if something was ruled out prematurely.
You have stiff neck? RA symptoms? Chronic hadaches? stomach and bowell issues? ovarian cysts or a hysterstomy? brain "fog", vertigo, anxiety? If so your Fibro might be in fact a mycoplasma infection or possibly Lymes. Can you give me a full report of your symptoms?
Search www.immed.org and look under AI diseases/chronic illness.
When does it go away? I'm now on my 4th week on 90mg of Armour and still have really bad brain fog. Will it go away when I get to my optimal dose? Can't tell you how many times I'll walk into a room not knowing what I'm there for. Everyday blends into itself so I have no clue what happened on what day. Gotta say, when you think every weekday is Wednesday it's always cool when you find out it's Friday.
