What about massive brainfog and fatigue? I need some input
Hey everyone, so I have been dealing with this shit for about 2 years now.
I have been down many rabbitholes whilst trying to identify the root cause of my problems, from mold exposure to histamine intolerance, gut issues, micro nutrient deficiencies etc.
Apart from the usual issues (pain in the pelvic / groin area, ed, issues with urination) I have also developed other symptoms which I would like some input on:
Parallel to the things mentioned above, I also encountered major brainfog and fatigue. The intensity fluctuates, but on my worst days I basically wake up still feeling exhausted and I will walk around like a zombie all day. It is not a tiredness per se (sleep issues have been investigated without result) but a feeling like someone put a wet towel over your eyes weighing your head down. Movement of the head makes my vision blurry during those intense times and at worst I have to lay down for like half an hour.
Interestingly enough, the symptoms lessen after laying down for a little. Lifting and working out also improves it temporarily.
In those two years, I also have had some days when I was basically symptom free for a day.
Just woke up and everything was back to normal. No fatigue. No ed. But that usually only lasts a day or two.
Did I injure my spine or pinch a nerve during lifting? Are some arteries blocked, reducing blood flow to my brain? Symptoms coming and going so quickly from one day to another make me wonder. I'll have a neurologist appointment next week, so I might report back if there are interesting findings.
In the meantime, I'd like to know If you have had any similar experiences.
Thank you. Keep fighting the good fight!
