brain fog

[Hitter]

Ok this all started about 7yrs ago im now 24 i was visiting my grandmother for the holidays and my nose started bleed really bad. i never went to the hospital for the nose bleed because i always had them before. As the visit progressed i started to feel like my mind was going bad like i wasnt myself i really didnt pay any attention to the way i was feeling and kept doing my normal things. A few months passed and i noticed that i was still feelling the same way and began to get sick. My symptoms were very strange i would get the chills like i had the flu and get really weak and dizzy. My parents took me to the hospital where they ran blood test ct scans x-rays and all the test where negative. As the years passed i learned how to live with the way i was feeling. Now its 2011 and my symptoms have came back 2 times worse. Ive been back to the er and have got the same test and like last time they came back negative.(Symptoms).........Brain fog feeling like i have a constant concussion.my ears feel like they are stuffy..i feel like im drunk or stoned...i feel like im in another world...its like im living in a plastic ball...So I was wondering if it was anyone that could shine sum light on my situation.

thanks

Hi Hiter,

I experienced 2 major brain fog in my life.  13 years ago, I had a tick bite and suffered 15-day high fever. The brain fog lasted for less than a year after recovering from the fever.  3 years later after the recovery, I had another brain fog and this time it lasted almost 9 years.  It turned out I had a root canal infection in my upper jaw. I was cured in Summer 2013. Also mold infested environment can cause brain fog. In my case the outbound air vent above my desk blew down roaches from time to time and the mold grew in my coffee cup if I left it over night on my desk.  Pay close attention to surroundings and try to recall what happened, take notes, do research online and try to connect the dots. In my case, my family doctor and old dentist had no clue what happened to me.  They do not have the knowledge nor the experience about what we had been through.  Brain fog is a general symptom that can be caused by many other illness or allergies, infections, contaminated air, Candida overgrowth and etc.  Get a 2nd and 3rd opinion and even see the infection specialist if must.  Check out this website: http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/brain_fog.htm. It is educational. Good luck and best wishes.

You need a thorough medical exam and that would include seeing a rheumatologist and being tested for autoimmune diseases. There are more blood tests than the regular panel of testing that could be done also. Have you seen a neurologist or was this through your primary physician? I would ask for a referral to a neurologist. I hope you get answers.
