Brain fog and dizziness has been there from day 1. I have been treating for 3 months with Ceftin and did notice it has gotten worse. I'm now just beginning new abx, but had to take a few days off cause I also have the flu.
It used to come and go more, but now it seems to be more permanent. It is scary... I feel like I'm losing my marbles!

tabers is right. It is so ironic you finally start
treatment and your brain go nuts. Last week I ran
out of dish det and there was a bottle in the
garage, so I went to get it. I left the water
running in the sink, as it is just a short jont
outside. I got distracted and was shocked to find
what I did when I got back in. I have done this
twice since starting treatment. I can no longer
multifunction. It can be very
dismaying. But I'm feeling better so I will take
the good with the bad.

Pinelady, YES! I get sidetracked VERY easily, and I can't multitask at all! My attention span is pretty much shot too. IS your brain fog accompanied by dizziness or unsteadiness? It seems the two go hand in hand with me.

Yes. It is as if your mind and body don't match. I
wake with the feeling I can handle a army and feed
them too. But when I go to actually try to do it, I
falter with the reality I cannot. We have to give
it more time.

I think Detox helps me the most with fog, but I never get rid of it completely.

Being sugar free and gluten free helps me.

kareamber, this is EXACTLY what happens with me! I want to know what this is all about! I have explained it to people and they say that usually as the day goes on their brain fog clears a bit. Not in my case!!

Jenny and Kareamber - you might want to: 1. up your yeast treatment 2. keep track of your blood sugar
Have you noticed the fog kicks in worse after lunch? Could be yeast making you a bit hypoglycemic... or feeling drunk after you eat
There's also the possibility that your cells just plain run out of energy. High QUALITY CoQ10 or perhaps some NADH might help with that.
But I'd start with the yeast. My brain fog left after a couple mos of Diflucan.

Ditto what Dekrator said.
That is what helped my brain fog the most.

Does Diflucan work? I have heard that it doesn't....or is it that you have to take it a long time? Anyone tried high dose oil of oregano?

Jenny and Karenamber, this is usually what happens with me as well. Although sometimes it will reverse.
