All are good. Sometimes brain fog is a medical condition. I had it bad for years before finding out I had an autoimmune condition.

- the_only_law 6y agoHow do you even go about figuring this out. Do you just go to a primary practitioner and say “hey XYZ” and ask for a test/recommendation to a specialist? I haven’t been to the doctor in years outside emergencies and have suspected some issues but I’m not sure if I’m particularly interested in the cost / time involvement of any treatments for anything.
- treeman79 6y agoSuspected for 20 years, since I was a teenager. Would ask doctors and they always dismissed as I looked heathy. Eventually health completely collapsed. But blood work was fine, I looked fine. Saw 30+ doctors in the span of 2 years. I had a 4 pages of list symptoms and issues. I carried around. I saw a neuro-ophthalmologist he read the list, started asking specific questions about symptoms I didn’t list, but did have. He declared I had Sjogrens. I had never heard of it. A year later I had an official diagnosis from a rheumatologist. Even that I had to fight hard to get tests run. Treatment started making a big difference. I would never have gotten heathy via regular doctors.
- tartoran 6y agoThis is a strange feeling we get from doctors if we fall into a gray zone/edge case and if they cannot find anything to diagnose they might think we are hypochondriacs or suggest seeing a shrink. I think proble will be solved by and with technology. I imagine one day we’ll step into a box which would scan everything in slices and dices and would point to the problem. Even more interesting it will be when it actually applies all that knowlege on us somehow helping our bodies would fix themselves, something like the startek tricorder..
