Spacey feeling

Posted by gbny1224 @gbny1224, Dec 9, 2022

I have burning feet and painful legs that has gotten slightly worse over sudden onset the last 10 months. The worse now is this spacey shakey mental state that's not related to getting up too quickly. It comes in waves of intensity. Almost like I'm being poisoned. Almost like brian fog but my memory seems fine. Not taking any drugs gabapenten etc. Anyone else ?

@gbny1224, I found this information that kind of sounds like what you are describing as brain fog.

"Brain fog is a symptom, not a medical diagnosis. It can feel different to different people, and they might use the same term to refer to a range of symptoms. Some characteristics of brain fog include:

feeling “spacy” or confused
feeling fatigued
thinking more slowly than usual, and needing more time to complete simple tasks
being easily distracted
having trouble organizing thoughts or activities
forgetfulness, such as forgetting daily tasks or losing a train of thought
word-finding difficulties"

Have you discussed the symptoms with your doctor?
