Amonia high - brain fog?

[Magnum]

Got bloodwork results yesterday that were read by my primary. He stated that the Amonia levels in my body were higher than normal. He then stated that this can effect the thinking pattern and/or clarity of the brain being able to concentrate and think normally.

I personally don't feel like I'm disabled in that capicity. Anyone else have this? Has anyone else been told by their doctor that they have high Amonia which can relate to thinking problems?
I have to say this must be related to the last volatile and near death over-dosed treatment, as I never had high Amonia before...

they don't fry roids off anymore, they tie them off with rubber bands, it's safer.

My pleasure. I don't see how exploding farts could not be funny. They just are, like water's wet.

To all those that think high ammonia levels cause "brain fog" I've got just one thing to say..... Dang,  I forget now what I was going to say :)

LOL - Keep the faith

Oregon is supposed to have a shorter wait for livers. I recently saw that fact in the news. For what it's worth.

Just checked out on ammonia level . To find a totally GoofyDad. You really are Goofy. Well I went for a colonoscopy while taking lactulose and fortunate or unfortunately did'nt blow the Dr. away. Lactulose is a prescribed drug. I've been taking it for about a year now and still haven't figured out the right dosage for me. Believe me there are times when your traveling  or have an appointment and you just can't take it. If you go to long without it a  You get as everyone say BRAIN FOG never knew what that ment till now.The Dr. have their own word for it encepalopathy. Luckly the Dr. said I could'nt overdose on it so there are occations when I try to compensate and end up sitting in the thinking chair for a very long time.I try to take a higher dose in the evening so I don't spend the entire day in the bathroom. And of course they did say you could go into a coma if your not careful. Someone also asked about transplant I'm not on the list yet but have gone for an eveluation. Looks like I'm still going to be at the bottom of the list because I have no significant symptoms MELD score is at 10 and should be much higher in order to go up on the list . I am according to biopsy at end stage. So whom ever asked Your husband needs to get an eveluation at a liver transplant center before they tell him he can not get a transplant.  Goofydad you made my day . Made me smile for awhile and these days its rare. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  cat33
