Hi allow me to introduce myself as Cinderella...
Jane that sounds like a cool idea to be honest, i've had this brain fog for years, it's annoying, I too am looking for a solution as the Doctors appear, what we're doing now looking up anwsers on the computer is all the doc does & for an easy life will offer you anti depressents....but good ole doc's not there when people take there own lives...
Out with the doc as my last appointment to the doctors he spent the whole time argueing with his boss infront of me & I felt a little embarrested...he offered me the surgery councilling as the last lady i had was nuts & she was the guy I live with's Councillor & I didn't really get anywhere as she took his side...that's as bad as this gets but when the letter came through cause you have to ring up for the appointment I learned he had given me the same lady!
They are all abit queer where i live & it's making brain fogged....I would really love any advice cause I would love to multiply in friends & do something with my life...Adrenal Support Capsules sounds like an excellent solution....thanks i will try it as I am sick of being told off by docs for not doing anti depessents! So up yours to Doctors!!! ;o)
Hi Sherta. I'm interested in what you said about T3. My Endo started me on 10mg of T3 in a morning and T4 in the evening for Hashis disease. After taking the T3 for a few days, my head started to go funny and I got very depressed. It lasted a few weeks and my Endo then increased it to 20mg. My head got better and the depressed feelings went away and I started to sleep better but felt terrible in a morning with huge dark circles and heaviness. I have stopped the T3 now and my head has gone funny again and I feel depressed. I know this is only temporary but what hell is it doing to my brain? It is all scary stuff to me. Is it linked to my adrenal glands?
I can tell you that worse brain fog I had from Candida infection I had or probably still have but it is getting better. You can find test or questionnaire for this and treatment bc it is very toxic infection and can cause hormonal imbalances like adrenals and other.

Thanks, Sherta.
My thyroid tests all came out fine (although I have read that this may not truly mean I am 'fine).
Melancholy does run in my family, though, and my grandmother, mother and youngest brother have/had hypothyroidism, so your post is intriguing.
Thanks again!
Have you had your thyroid levels -- TSH, Free T3, Free T4 – checked? T3 will hold on to the recpectors in the brain for as long as it can and it’s the last to go in low thyroid impairment. People used to be thrown in a phys ward and determined crazy. Now there are numerous studies that show that T3 therapy helps even patients with no thyroid deficiency who have depression. Another thing to keep in mind is that fluoride and other toxins can and will deplete iodine that is needed for efficient thyroid function. Also, food intolerances can cause significant brain FOG, in addition to stripping the body of needed nutrients. GMO in processed oils can cause much harm including mega brain irregularities.
Good luck,

Thanks margypops and others for your responses.
It's now the slow-thinking, or memory problems that bother me as much as this 'fog,' lack of clarity.
