Could brain exercises help with brain fog?

I'm curious.

I tried the free exercises and it "hurt" to try to use my brain...just like it "hurts" when someone asks me something complicated.

Is it a losing effort to try to re-build brain connections while still in the midst of Lyme?

I think it is worth a try.

I had to stop doing sudoku puzzles for a while (bed-bound), but when I tried getting back into them it was painful (mentally) initially. But now I can do the daily puzzle on Yahoo! Games without much trouble.

And there are other similar puzzles I do on a daily basis as time permits - I like Brainbashers.com [Smile]

lax mom - interesting sight. I've wondered that myself. does it really make a difference. Like Razzle says, it can't hurt. I took a biology lab recently (I'm not young either).

The first night I went into the bathroom and cried. i was so discouraged and confused. I never thought I would get through one assignment, and definitely not finish the class.

I got an A on my first test and I am going to finish the class. I've noticed that sometimes I am still completely confused, but I think the fact that I have stuck with it has helped my brain in some way.

Of course, there are other variables like what meds am I on etc.

I just finished my free 3 day trial. I actually like it. My brain starts to hurt mentally toward the end...but it's nice to see that I've still got some brain cells left that are slightly functional.

Razzle: I wish I could put a name on the phenomenon that happens when I am trying to do or think something complex and it "hurts" mentally. This happens all day long and at times, it is one of my worst symptoms.

Haley: that's awesome that you are going to finish your class. It's a testament to the plasticity of the brain. Gives me hope.
