Debilitating symptoms. Brain fog...extreme memory loss...spacey 24/7!

Hi Taylor,

I've suffered with similar symptoms for over 10 years, but sometimes have managed to clear it up pretty well. 

A few ideas to look into:

Candida - this is an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the gut - how you feel in your head / the brain fog is an indication of how your gut is - my head literally felt jammed full of cotton wool to the point I could barely think. Cut out sugar and eat clean to clear up and take antifungals

Liver Congestion - check out Andreas Moritz book and liver flush group on Facebook - this was the big turnaround for me - a once a month liver flush can have amazing results

Magnesium deficiency - huge problem apparently and major cause of anxiety and other issues. 

Research these and I hope they help you.

Diet is a major part of the recovery - cut out all sugar and possibly wheat & dairy

Also check out what they call Damp in Traditional Chinese Medicine - similar to candida

I am so happy I found this discussion. I have been feeling the exact same way after the birth of my 4th child. I noticed after returning back to work 6 weeks postpartum i felt spaced out! Almost like I was living a dream. I starting to have compulsive thoughts and anxiety attacks. I can deal with the anxiety but the feeling of not being real is scary! My brain feels so foggy at times I just want to go to sleep! It literally feels like someone cut open my head, blew smoke in there and closed it back up! When I am feeling like this I want to be left alone, but its humanly impossible because I am a mother and wife.

Has anyone felt this after giving birth? Does it go away? My doc prescribed meds but I refuse to take them because I am scared of the side effects.

Hi! Taylor. More strength to you from India. My younger brother has been suffering from the exact same symptoms since the last 5 years. It is as if he suddenly stops living,almost 2 times a year for atleast 1 month each time. We've visited psychiatrists, therapists, ayurvedic practitioners but to no avail. All he tells us that he doesn't remember a thing except that his vision was hazy and his head felt heavy during those horrifying times. I mean I am very worried,it's destroying my kid brother. If you can give even a little headway into what it is,it will go a long way man. Hope you're doing fine cause I know what it's like. Desperately waiting to hear from you. Thank you for posting this thread.

Has anyone here ever heard of something called h -pylori? Doing some extensive research into this shows many neuro issues due to adrenal fatigue and cortisol and other issues caused. The best article I found is on justinhealth. C o m it certainly explains a lot of you research it enough you gut actually affects many many different parts of your body to be honest. I'm going to get tested very soon, although my physciatrist is following a treatment for pandas and it seems to be working even tho I'm an adult and no known case of that in adults has been reported but I just thought I'd send out another possibility 

Hello,

I  know I am a little late answering this post, but I have to tell you. I am to a "T" in the same exact and I mean exact boat you are or were in. Did you ever find any answers? I'm just going through life and it's no quality at all. I can't hang out with friends, I can't help my sick dad, I can't take care of my house. The only think I can do is make it to work(barely) and come home to go to bed. I know I have a low iron and vitamin D and I have seen a hematologist and said my symptoms are not from low iron or vitamin d. I feel as though my life is near the end as I have been dealing with chronic fatigue all my life but this is beyond horrible. I have no friends and everyone things I am lazy and that's not it. As I write this the tears are just rolling down my face bc I feel every word you said. Please contact me and let me know how you are doing and if you found any answers. I would be beyond thankful to know I was not alone. 

Thanks a bunch!

Hi, for anyone experiencing these symptoms that have exausted all other avenues and would like to try something new- I believe there is a correlation between this condition and the spine, specifically the atlas vertibrea. I stumbled across 2 accounts of people with my syptoms that found a correlation, and I had a few visits to a chiro shortly before discovering this and had huge improvement in my symptoms at that time, so I'm eager to get back and tell them that i believe there is a connection with the atlas vertibrea, and i would also be eager to hear if others hear could investigate and report their findings. One thing is clear from my research- there is a staggering number of people who have this disorder and doctors don't seem to be aware of it. With how hard it makes our existence, we really need to pool together and figure this out by sharing info and making this issue more widely known until a cure or at least a proper diagnosis can be found. I have more to share, but i purpose we start some sort of reddit group to start a better collaboration, and like i mentioned, anyone that can investigate my findings about the atlas please let me know the results.
