Am I the only one with PATM who since having it has lost the ability to concentrate?

[Cris9584]

Since the middle of my university career, I have had PATM, and since that day I have realized that my ability to concentrate when studying, taking exams and performing at my job, are much worse than before, the doubt is, I don't know If it happens to all the PATMERS or just me?

I've had it for years (and years). I really feel (my  own situation will attest to this) that it's a reaction by the nervous system to anxiety or flat out fear. I get waves of it, particularly released from my feet that even I am allergic to. Every minute of my life now is consumed with this crap. Debilitating? That would only begin to describe it. I do know that, in my case, smokes, caffeine, any stimulants make it much worse. If I have a hangover, and I've had coffee and a few smokes. I could walk in to a gym and some would start sneezing. My Dr. doesn't know what I'm talking about.

Yes it is called brain fog, your ability to think is gone

And the worst thing for me at least was that even when i got rid of my brainfog is that PATM reactions still exist.

[Arnaud123]

How did you got rid of your Brainfog ? I implement a keto diet but even after 4 weeks it is still there

I have the same problem as well. If you look up Candida it's one of the side effects, as well as fatigue. I notice when I am on the Candida diet that those side effects improve, but I have never disciplined myself to stick to the diet and see it through to the end.

I thought I had a systemic yeast infection. But the stool test was negative.

Candida may be a factor but it's not the cause. I think it has to do with low Serotonin, because this is also involved in immunity, plus low Serotonin = depression.
