Monolaurin and Brain fog
Posted , 2 users are following.
Sorry to be posting so much...I just feel absolutely defeated at this point. Being diagnosed back in December and I was getting so much better daily...for months and months things were looking up it seemed. Then May hits and I am back to feeling like complete crap. BRAIN FOG is the best way that I can describe how I am feeling. It has been going on every single day for over a month now. And somedays it is really bad...like I dont remember a lot of things lately, I struggle finding the right words to say sometimes, like I will say things backwards or out of order...I have a headache often, and I am extremely exhausted no matter how much sleep I get or what I do. I just feel so weird and disconnected I keep telling my doctor and all my specialists is the best way I can describe it. They have done CT Scans and much more on my head and have found nothing wrong. All my blood work comes back normal too like it shows I am not fighting an infection. I am just confused at this point. I finally ordered monolaurin today it will be here Wednesday and I am really hoping that this will help me somewhat. I am on depression medication, and I feel like even after changing that several times I am just depressed because I really miss feeling like myself. Can anyone else relate or has anyone else experienced this extreme brain fog/confusion/disconnect for awhile?

No need to apologize. I've done so much complaining and venting these last 8 months, I get it. And anyone whose had mono understands. I know I've shared my experience with the brain fog/disconnected feeling with you so I won't get into it again. But I really feel for you. It's a very weird feeling that you just wanna snap out of. My best days are whenever I just go thru my day without focusing on the fact that I feel out of it. It takes mental fortitude and I know it'll all be beneficial when it finally subsides. It's alright and normal for it to be upsetting. Think about it, you've been drained of a lot of energy. The same energy that makes you feel good and let's you do the things that bring you joy. The best part about it is that it won't be forever, and everything will feel so much better when recovered. I've gone thru the same anxieties of wondering whether or not it's something more than mono. I thought about getting neurological tests done. I also deal with anxiety and anxiety/panic attacks way before mono, and throughout these 8 months depression has lingered. I say all of this to say you're not alone in this. I get the pain and sadness this can cause, but I like to just remind myself of how everything really is okay (and then in between that I'll get angry all over again haha). I'm praying for you, myself, and anyone else going thru similar circumstances. Feel free to vent, complain, whatever on this forum whenever.
