hey guys-
my brainfog is crazy. i wanted to see if anyone else has it like this and/or what helped (was it lyme or co infection?)
i feel so detatched from everything. its more visual than mental. although my mental processing is slower than normal, this is like a haze.
if i am in a room, watching tv, i dont notice it as much. but as soon as i start walking around (slowly) outside or anywhere with multi stimuli, it all is a blur.
cant really focus on any one thing.
i also have pressure in my neck (that has moved from my head). this pressure is in the rear.
this pressure is so bad i can feel it in my jaw. when i eat it makes it worse.
it comes with a stiff neck that cracks, and and a back that feels like cement.
sorry guys, i AM venting here.
anyway, anyone that can relate please share, thanks so much

I've been off abx about 2 months. I have severe anxiety/panic, I'm taking St Johns wort to help. Hopefully this is part of the healing process.

djf, I lived with brain fog for 5 years before I started having clear headed days. My detachment felt mental even though I was having many vision sx also.
Today I can be completely clear headed and all of sudden for no known reason I'm in a fog again. Now it doesn't hang around. It was horrible feeling.

Hi djf,
the buhner herbal and nutritional recommendations have helped me with brain fog.
He recommends huperzine A (with ginko), and vinpocetine. I also take lecithin. These, in conjunction with antibiotic treatment, have helped alot over the past year.

Hi djf2005
I can really relate as neuro symptoms of detactched feeling,blank mind & brain fog where one of my worst symptoms. It did get better over time with treatment. It did get alot worse with herxing . And it did take alot of time to clear the neuro-toxins when I finally stopped treatment. I still do rife & when I do I can get back temporaily the bad brain fog ect... but it doesn't last as long as with abx.
hang in there Dana
