I empathize with the fear of brain fog and trying to maintain a demanding job, taking care of home and family and self. For me, I am a single parent of a teen, 54, and my brain fog got really bad when I was undiagnosed with iron deficiency, sleep apnea, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, small fiber neuropathy, cervical spondylitic myelopathy, breast implant illness, etc. Once I was diagnosed for everything and treated (took over 6 years to get diagnosis), my brain fog has improved. I am sleeping better (use cpap), no longer iron deficient (had d and c and IUD put in to reduce severe menstrual cycles), take thyroid medication (recently increased which is helping with symptoms of weakness and fatigue), had cervical spine surgery which has decompressed my spinal cord (able to control arms and legs and bladder better and much fewer daily headaches), had implants removed which has relieved some brain fog and concentration issues (due to toxins), etc. You really need to get answers to the causes of your symptoms and not give up until you find doctors who listen and help to diagnose the cause. I am perimenopause and have dealt with chronic pain and mood swings/depression and recently put on Prozac which has also helped to regulate emotions (there were times I just did not want to live anymore and exhausted from all of the disappointments and time/money wasted trying to get diagnosed. Quality of life really takes a beating and you need to take care of yourself to be able to manage life and make good decisions. Best of luck to you on your heath care journey!
