How my brain fog was cured
Background:
It started 2 years back when I was in final year of uni. Initially I ignored it considering lack of sleep, fatigue, caffeine intake etc.
However, it got worse with time.
Later I visited a neurologist but all regular blood tests, B12, iron levels etc were normal. Even MRI scans were normal.
Everything was attributed to stress, anxiety etc but I knew that was not it
Symptoms:
The pattern was inconsistent. Sometimes lasting a few hours to the entire day. Sometimes since waking up, sometimes the entire day went by but nothing happened. Finally I found a pattern- the trigger after a shower was most consistent.
Final diagnosis:
I underwent a sleep deprived EEG. It showed generalized epileptiform discharge. That was it.
I was put on anti seizure medication.
Now I can feel the cognitive difference.
So don't give up. It's tough but I hope my story helps someone.
