I have been struggling for 6 months. I
started having head pressure, it would not
go away. I was told it was anxiety. I have
since struggled with brain fog, difficulty
thinking. Sometimes some body jerking at
night when I sleep. I have Diffuculty
excercising and I often type words with
letters backwards. I am currently trying
out an anxiety medication. But I still
feel terrible. I feel like it is ruining
my life. I am scheduled to see a
nuerologist next week and hope to have
complete MRI's of my head done. Anybody
have any suggestions on what might be
going on or what I should check out?
Thanks

Body jerking could be restless leg
syndrome. Did this show up after you were
put on med for anxiety (possible side
effect)?
Brain fog can come from lack of adequate
sleep, which could be due to restless leg
syndrome.
Try eliminating caffeine, drinking a large
glass of orange juice every day, and
supplementing with folic acid (folate) b6
b12 and magnesium may be helpful.
Good luck and God bless!

Brain Fog... Posted: 05-29-07 01:25am
Do not automatically assume you need to
take anxiety pills... They will only lead
to more problems in the long run.
Try some dietary changes and take some
supplements.
Best of luck

Research Posted: 07-03-07 19:20pm
The hardest thing to do when you feel so
crummy, is to research your problems,
however, only you know what your feeling
and what is normal for you. I would
encourage you to do some research on the
topics below. In your case I believe it
is a good idea to go to the neurologist
and proceed with the MRI. I would
continue to take the medication for
anxiety until you see a specialist. I
would still do research between now and
then, and don't give up hope if the
results are normal. I would also
recommend seeing an MD that specializes in
FMS/CFS/MS/Lupus, or a Reumatologist.
Research:
FMS - Fibromyalgia
CFS - Chronic Fatigue
MS - Multiple Sclerosis
Lupus
Restless Leg Syndrome
Reviewing these may lead to looking into
other conditions as well. Many sites with
have questionaires that will help identify
your symptoms. I hope this helps, please
feel free to write if you have more
questions.

I Have Exactly What You Have Posted: 12-20-07 23:43pm
I had the brain fog you describe for about
one year. I would have conversations with
people and forget what we had just talked
about 5 minutes later. I went through my
chain of doctors with no explanation of
what was wrong with me. If you want to
get rid of this mind fog take olive leaf
extract. You can find it at any health
nutrition store. Get some with a high %
of oleuropein. I have to take four a day
otherwise I the brain fog comes back along
with the weird dull constant headaches and
the marked fatigue during the middle of
the day. I really hope this helps because
I know exactly how you feel right now.
God Bless

Like all of you I have had brain fog for
ages. Please check out if you have
diabetes and are on a sugar high. Also
check out your liver as this can be a
symptom of liver disease.
