Just that really.

Still struggling in my own hell - which seems quite unique.

So I am experiencing horrific brain fog - I'm assuming that's what it is. Given my other symptoms, it's not my worst. But I guess if I can work out if it is hormonal or not - that might give me an overall clue.

So what does it feel like for you?

Mine I feel totally dazed and spaced out. It's not the classic forgetting words - although I do get that. I just wander about with no brain whatsoever. I feel I'm struggling in conversations. I can't seem to converse. Just so dazed. I feel unsafe to drive.  I feel like I've taken a drug. But I've not.

I'm not worried it's something sinister. I'm just trying to work out if it's hornonal. I've had an ME/cfs specialist tell me my brain fog is too severe to be peri.

Love to hear your experiences.

My brain fog feels similar as the brain fog during pregnancy (in Dutch we call this pregnancy dementia). It can get pretty severe for me too, so I disagree with your specialist, I don’t think other people can understand how much hormones can affect your functioning if they haven’t experienced it themselves.

Thanks kon.

That's helpful. I don't recall having any when pregnant. Perhaps I did. X
