Brain fog didn't use to be a big deal for me but over the last few weeks it has gotten really bad.

I can't think, can't focus, I feel very on edge mentally and physically, racing thoughts, random and nonsensical dreams and thoughts, emotional, irritable, very scared, swollen lymph nodes, nausea.

What if this doesn't go away? The thought is terrifying. I used to have a baseline I stayed around as far as my illness and all this is relatively new. The nausea is new too.

Could this be candida??

Is there anything I can do for symptom relief in the meantime?? I can't stand this disconnection in thinking.

Can you increase the frequency of your detox methods?

Activated charcoal sometimes helps me, as does IV glutathione.

Could this be a buildup of neurotoxins?

Brain fog sucks! I can totally relate. It's the brain equivalent of trying to run under water.

Sounds like bartonella. These darn infections have a way of just exploding on me out of no where. I have had similar symptoms with bart.

I have been getting sick every 5-6 days with extreme fatigue, headaches and nausea if I stand up. Then suddenly it is gone. The LLND thinks it is a herx or it might be residual babesia.

I have tried everything over the years and the only thing that helps my brain is calming the infections down. Lately I have been using lithium ornate and zeolite. It seems to be helping a lot with detoxing. I am also sleeping better.

right now nothing, because instead of my abx making it better, like it was, it seemed to be making it worse.

I was on doxy, flagyl, and once weekly diflucan.
