There's an interesting article in here about brain fog.

I don't know if you all can get to this, or if you've ever looked at HCV Advocate, but there is an article on this link, on the PDF that is very interesting about brain fog.  In fact, I found some sections of it comical because it is so FAMILIAR to me.  I actually got lost driving once or twice in an area of the state where I have previously driven MANY times.  I was actually brought to tears driving around in the country-side areas of North FL., for miles and miles, trying to find my way out of the 'maze'.  I was only my brain fog that caused the whole thing, too.

I read it--got a chuckle out of it, too.  

Hepheimers fits well.  The worst thing I ever did was forget to go to work and forget to get the groceries out of the car (twice, lol!!)

There was another article in that same issue about health insurance after being diagnosed....good info.

Thanks for posting, Susan

I'm kinda thinking in my case it was from partying a bit too hearty in my younger days.

Surely no one else on here can relate to that right? :-)

But, it'll be interesting to see if it improves when I kick this dragon's butt.

I absolutely agree with Spectda,,, exercise has made such a difference for me.  I push myself, and feel better after.  Thoughts much clearer.

Thanks for posting the link. I found this excerpt about exercise helping clear brain fog to very true for me.

"Exercise your brain. Physical
activity is the best way to stimulate
brain cells. Go for a walk but don’t
talk on the phone at the same time"

I just read it. My favorite part was "When HCV treatment is added
to brain fog, it feels more like a brain tsunami."

Amen!!!!!

I can't believe that none of you commented on this.  The Hepheimers comment in this article was so true.  Oh well.  I hope some of you actually read it.  Susan400
