the sun really bothers my eyes, its hard to see on sunny days , like a light sensitivity or something. Its weird.I actually feel like I am walking around dead.

[Guest guest]

*light bulb goes on* after reading post.

When I am out, usually in a car, and I get too hot, I get so sick. Is this a thing I should attribute to the implants??? Or is this just normal for "some" ppl. It never occurred to me..of course., that it could be from the implants.

Feeling like you are walking around dead sounds very much how I described my depression to my Doctor. Sounds like depression to me. I was prescribed prozac for it and I always said after taking the prozac I felt like someone "woke me up out of a coma" and I have been on prozac just a wee bit longer than I've had my 9 year old implants. Might be worth mentioning to your doctor. Its terrible to go thru life like that when perhaps you don't have to, and something can help you.

Just my opinion tho.

Weird feeling yes, like my head is shut.... like not quite awake. It feels also as if after a good sleep or nap it would be gone and my head would be clear, also bad concentration, it takes a lot for the short term memory to work

How does the sun bother your eyes?

Brain fog was the hardest of my symptoms to describe, Barb, and yes it is weird, a weird feeling. It was accompanied by memory loss, but it was more than that--it was like my thinking was clouded, it felt like my brain was stuffed with cotton instead of thinking brain cells. I found it hard to concentrate, hard to stay focused on a book when reading, (reading the same paragraphs over and over again), hard to do mental tasks, hard to organize or think ahead, my brain just feels tired. It also felt like I was spaced out, like I had drunk some alcohol when I hadn't, (not drunk, but on the way to being drunk), or like there was some kind of chemical messing with my brain. I also felt like something was wrong with my eyes, like they were tired, or didn't want to move around too fast, I couldn't react quickly to something darting around in my vision. I couldn't wear my sunglasses, as they bothered me, but too much sun also bothered me, so I looked pretty funny as I was constantly taking off my sunglasses and putting them back on, like I couldn't make up my mind.

My brain fog now is much less, but it is there, kinda like some chemical is messing with my head. I hate it. It was the very last of my symptoms to go away (it took about 4 years or more), and in fact, I think the Hashimoto's diagnosis with the armour thyroid replacement is what kicked that, so maybe you should have your thyroid checked? I don't know why I have it again, but now that I think about what said with the thyroid issues and the bacteria or viral connection, and my last dental cleaning...maybe there is some connection there? , what do you think?

After explant mine was completely gone. That was a great and wonderful feeling, to think so clear and good!

I would describe it as a weird feeling in my head. Hard to think clearly. It has seemed to clear up a bit since being explanted...

Great discription. "... like there was some kind of chemical messing with my brain...like I had drunk some alcohol when I hadn't" Exactly! And then it takes soooo very much concentration to "Be there" and to take part. That is when I lost my SPUNK, I stopped being funny and enjoying myself, also withdrew and didn't like making business phone calls as that seemed too much for my head,

I have to think about that thyroid issue. It is late here, after 1a.m. andI have been fogged...so

Good night!

I guess it depends on whether you felt this way before implants--did you? If it started after you got implants, then I would venture a guess that it is related somehow. Many women with lupus cannot take heat, nor can those with MS (both autoimmune diseases.)

It never happened to me before implants. There are quite a few ladies here who experienced nausea in hot, summery weather.

Apparently this photo (?) sensitivity is a symptom of various auto immune diseases.

It disappeared completely with explant but came back in the last two days, too many toxins in my body.

Brain fog, have had it pretty bad last couple of days. Your right it feels like I've been drinking, Its almost a feeling of being outside my body. Its so hard to explain to anyone else who doesn't have it. I keep thinking that it's something I ate or drank. It has been almost non existent since explant. Thats why I was so surprised that it came back for the last couple of days. Also my vision is acting up. it is so weird. one minute I need reading glass's to see anything up close and the next my eye's seem fine. Yesterday I even had to put reading glass's on to see the flower my daughter painted on my finger nails. My vision was blurred. Today all gone. Ive had my eye's checked and I have 20 /20 did need reading glass's 150's cheap drug store type.This whole thing drives me crazy sometimes.*~Patty~* <fdp@...> wrote:

Could it partly have to do with the weather? Maybe not drinking enough? It is summer everywhere and the brain fog is coming back.

I had a frightening vision experience today. My vision was blurred, I couldn't focus, was missing field of vision on my right side. I was so scared! It went away after I held my head and closed my eyes. What is that?
