Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 Could someone tell me what brain fog is? Dear We actually have a person in this group that has such extensive first hand experience with brain fog that if it were offered as part of the curriculum of a institution of higher learning he would qualify to head the department , with any luck at all as he is reposed and shy Geoff will afford you an excellent explanation of experiential " brain fog " . If it were in the dictionary his picture would accompany the definition. So rather than me botching up an attempted definition I do hope our resident scholar on the subject will come forward and afford us an definition that truly does justice to this unfortunate circumstances that happens to us all. In a nutshell have you of late walked into a room and ask yourself why you were there or forgot what you were looking for . How about your keys ,glasses , checkbook , coats ,children's schoolevents , anything that you should have no problem recalling but for some reason its gone. It being the ability to think fluidly and clearly for extended periods of time. Arthritis causes a symptom that we call brain fog as a all encompassing definition for forgetfulness and just plane being spaced out. But with a little luck and if he doesn't forget how to type Geoff will be far more informative on the subject ,if he doesn't forget his name or where he lives or the country he's in . Its a sad situation for him . But we must not pity him for to pity him would to give up hope . We want him to know we are there when the fog rises we are there ..................

Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 Hi On brain fog, I was calling a new Dr to see if he still did anti-biotics and the nurse asked for my phone number to call me back after asking him and I couldn't remember my phone number I had to ask my husband. I was kind of glad that he only did herbal stuff now so I didn't make an appt. Gotta write my number on the phone.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 Dearest , My name is... excuse me. (Hmmm, I know I had it written down somewhere. What's this on my hand - huh - I wonder who that is? Well it's -- OH! It's me. ) Hi ! Geoff Crenshaw here. I have it on good authority that me dear friend Root, whose mother and sister we all know to be women, has suggested that I might be able to shed some light on foggy brains, or brain fog at least. You know, those military boys just call them brain farts. Older, more genteel people refer to them as, " senior moments " . Problem is, for most of us suffering from these rotten diseases, these moments tend to string one after another for months or years on end, hence the " fog " . In essence, as and his lovely feminine cohort have doubtless explained, when one has an illness or injury of any sort, the body uses more calories than during normal routines. This increased caloric demand, when healthy, is usually met with increased appetite. However, fighting chronic illnesses usually presents a complex picture of appetitie suppression (unless drug induced hunger is involved - which does NOT change the ultimate 'fog' scenario) and thus lower caloric intake. If drugs are being used, such as Prednisone, even though the caloric intake is up, the chemical reactions often lead to the same problem anyway. The body needs extra energy to fight the illness. That energy is a 'core demand' akin to the heartbeat. It takes that energy from instantly available resources (read free-flow in the bloodstream, etc) then from shutting down higher functions which hog those same resources... higher functions like short-term memory. So next time you start out the door, find you don't have your keys, and discover them the next day in the refrigerator you know what's going on. The nice thing, of course, is that brain fog moves in lock-step with flares. So once a flare is under control, perceived energy levels increase and brain fog decreases or disappears. Now if I can just find my coat. ROBERT!!! Do you know where my coat is?? <LOL> HTH -- Regards, Geoff Crenshaw, ACC ---------------------- Managing Partner ** No Disclaimers ** Captain Cook's Cruise Center ---------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Over 3,000 daily cruise & tour specials > Top 5% of Web Sites http://www.800-800-cruise.com [specials] > Top 100 Travel Sites .. > Top Web Sites for Cruise tips New Zealanders http://www.800-800-cruise.com [tips] USA PH: 800-800-CRUIse PH: 559-636-8413 FAX:559-734-1420 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- geoff@...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 1999 Report Share Posted February 21, 1999 Dear Geoff, I finally get it! And I do have it whatever the origin. Today I went to two stores and each time left something of mine there and had to go back! I've always been a space cadet, but I've been better over time...till lately. It's very annoying.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 My brain fog is very similiar to the others here also, though not as severe. I too am a mother of nine, college student, working at a nursing home, a graduated RN, honors in College and I even won awards for my writing...now I can't remember how to spell the simplest words and typing is a nightmare. Helping kids with homework is a nightmare, sometimes...just holding a conversation with someone is a nightmare. I will zone out. I will be driving down the road to pick up children, and forget where I am going and what it is I need to do. I also forget conversations with my hubby, as well as my teenagers. It drives me and THEM crazy. It is very scary. I forget to take things out for dinner, I forget I have to make dinner. It is a very strange feeling also, like being stuck inside a bottle..everything is fuzzy and you just can't shake it off....I have trouble multi-tasking and have become almost (for lack of another word) SLOW. Most people have a hard time understanding any of this as I look and talk "normal". ~ married to DH Mark, and sharing the lives of nine busy children. <3 <3 Re: Two Questions Brain fog and confusion was the stangest symptoms for me. The fogginess is like taking too much benedryl. I used to be an organized and smart woman. When I got sick I was a full time nursing student on the Dean's list, a mother of five, and worked partime at an area nursing home. I could handle it all. Now, I can't even remember to take something out of the freezer for dinner. I can't help my kids with homework, for I don't remember anything related to math. My husband and I argue because I don't remember conversations we had. I got in my first "fender bender" because I pulled out in front of another car and didn't move out of the way fast enough. I just froze and waited for her to stop. I even stopped at a green light and was confused as to why people were honking and gesturing. You are supposed to stop at a green light. I used to work with dementia patients and I now understand them alot more. I have temporarily became one. I am now 3 months post explant and the confusion is gone and the fogginess is better. LBSBanshee1@... wrote: Brain fog to me is not remembering from one minute to the next, its feels like something on my right side is moving a bit, so weird to describe. I sometimes stumble, lose balance, feels like the whole world is so like gone. It is the weirdest thing I have ever went through in my life. I went to put a bottled water in my fridge and I missed the shelf, I am a firm believer that my Saline Implants messed with my brain so bad, I remember at Christmas my sister and her girlfriend had to take me shopping. I was useless, they had to carry my purse and hold my hand in that mall, I was in my own world, hard to focus, my feet were tingeling so bad that I went to the store, forget which one, I bought a new pair of socks, thinking my socks were too big for my shoes, that didn't work, so I bought new pair of shoes, of course that didn't work either. I was at the mall but I was not there if that makes sense to you. I remember not being able to locate the men's shoe department I was in the shoe store. My eyes were a blur and my brain a fog, couldn't do anything. I felt so bad for my sister, I actually drove that day, I don't remember driving and I got lost all day long, couldn't find my way around, I have lived in this area for 37 years. My sister made me go home and she came and picked me up to go to another mall later that night. She was and still is worried about me. Her friend called her other friend to pick her up from the first mall guess she didn't want to ride with me. I could ramble stories all day so hope this helps you some on the brain fog issue.......

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 and , How long have you had your implants??? Are they silicone or Saline?? just curious.. I got my saline implants feb 22 2005, ever since been brain fogged it seems, noticed it about 5 or so months later. It is scary that is for sure, I have asked ER's am I gonna die? They think I am crazy, hell they just about had me thinking I was for a minute. I wonder does all your symptoms come and go????? Mine one day will be there next poof gone, another one will be there the next minute, etc.. Is this typical for all of us. I have a good day and I am questioning myself on the explant, it is so messed up???? Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Not to mention if this is a deficiency of some sort...say Essential Fatty Acids, or minerals, then surgery does nothing to address that. I just have to wonder about the suddenness of the illness, and the length of exposure? Silica gel is a known dessicant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica_gel You just have to wonder, based on chemistry, what is going on? What is it adsorbing? What balance is being upset? What minerals are in excess, what have become deficient? Detoxifying is always helpful, but detoxing does not address deficiencies. We need to make sure we address both issues.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Gretchy, I know you've been through alot! But you've done all that you can at this point in terms of surgery, and removing all traces of the implants. It's time to start focusing now on the healing aspect of your experience. While what you've gone through is frightening, you must not give in to this fear for the future. It's time to focus on positive thoughts and what you hope for in healing. Instead of talking about how scared you are, why not start talking about the next steps you will take and what you have to look forward to? You must now start finding things in your life that you are thankful for, things that you find out that are helpful toward healing.. A mind focused on the positive aspects of life, and taking steps toward wellness, including finding things to be grateful for, will contribute infinitely more toward healing than a mind focused on fear and dread of the future. You are going to have to train your mind to do this, starting as soon as possible. Yes, you can grieve about your experience. But at some point in time, the grieving has to stop and living has to begin again. Push past this--put this chapter of explant behind you as soon as you possibly can!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I would not rush into testing for MS. That is a disease that takes years to develop. All autoimmune diseases go through a process that takes time to progress, and often testing is inconclusive until the disease has progressed to a point where it can be diagnosed with a great amount of certainty. It is simply too early for that. Many of our women who have had positive autoimmune markers find that after explant and going through months or years of healing, those markers disappear or are greatly reduced. Amazing that you had capsules that could be removed! Did you get to see them?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Patty, I totally agree!!!!! It is normal for us to be frustrated, scared and angry as to what all is happening to our once healthy bodies.. But unless we stop this train of thought, we are on a stand by and not healing....... Move on with the future and all positive thoughts will help so much...... Forgive yourself and move on..... We all had to do this at one point to heal further.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Gretchen . . . It's highly unlikely that you're developing MS . . . IMHO, it's more like post traumatic syndrome. .You sound like you've been traumatized . . . and I'm not surprized if you feel that way . . You've been through a really rough time. . . But the worst is behind you. Your job right now is to concentrate on doing everything possible to get better. That includes eating right, drinking plenty of pure water, sleep, avoid all silicone/silicone dioxide products, concentrate on stress free things . . . beautiful pictures, funny films, happy memories.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Gretchen, I totally agree with Rogene, Sis and . You've been through so much. It sounds like post-traumatic stress to me too. I have suffered from this so that's why it sounds familiar. We are all behind you and praying for you. We all care very much. I remember after I had my hysterectomy. I was under for over 5 hours. For the first while it was difficult to concentrate, read etc. Please take Rogene's advice. She is so right.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I have been communicating privately with Gretchen, as I know some of you have also. I just wanted to say that I got terribly sick almost immediately after getting implants, and felt worse after explant surgery. I didn't leave the house for six months, with the exception of medical appointments.I had all the same cognitive issues-- feelings of unreality and severe emotional upset. I felt suicidal, which is unlike me-- I'm a pretty strong person. These implants hit us in different ways, and some of us harder than others. It would seem that they can trigger a sustained reaction in some people that continues long after the culprit is removed.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Darling Gretchen: I am sorry that I have not responded to you, but I think of you everyday. Please know that you will get well, but it might take some time. Do you like to read, or are you still having bad brain fog? When I had brain fog, it frightened me so much, because in my mind, I thought that I was mentally ill. forced me to go out, and that was not a good idea. I would just stand in one place, afraid that I would fall, later he learned that he could not do this to me. He did not know that I was so sick, but later he found out. This is when I called our psychologist, was in therapy with me. He learned so much during these sessions, and he started to believe me. The MS society helped me too, they would tell me to go into a dark room and lie down, and put a cold wash cloth over my eyes. Today, I no longer have the brain fog. Honey, we are all here for you, and we will continue to give you the love and support that you need....always...........Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` Re: Re: brain fog she says i can get tested for ms but i have biotoxin symptomsyes i had capsules On 2/24/07, auntsisnj <auntsisnjlycos > wrote: Gretchen,You just had three surgeries in a really short period of time, so I wonder if your symptoms are just really acting up because of all of that.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Sis, That's interesting-- I lost 15 pounds in two months when I was sick with implants, and gained them back, plus 10, after they came out, same as you. My metabolism must've slowed down, too. I eat the way I've always eaten but the weight just doesn't budge. I'm tall, so it isn't too noticable, but I notice it. Bindi Re: Re: brain fog> > > > Bindi,> > I agree with you whole heartedly..... We all carry different DNA.... We all have the symptoms but at different times they came and left our bodies.... WE don't have MS, Lupus and all these disease, we have breast implants sickness that can be helped with knowledge, patients and detox.... We have no choice but to do this for healing... How are you know Bindi? I know some lose brain fog as soon as explant and others do not.... I also know that for all of us with Low Alpha MSH Test, this is proof we have breast implants sickness, we all have bio-toxins and Thank God we can rid this with proper protocols, diet and detoxing.. I know that when I felt spent and badly, I would run to the bath tub, soak in Epsom salt and now been adding the peroxide (Thanks to Rogene) tip... This is soothing.... We have to try to stop the anger and frustration and I am hear to tell you that took me months alone..... I was very upset regarding my sickness nd I do believe it set my healing back and moving forward back, since this can take a mental and physical toll on us.... It is by far the hardest thing I ever had to do in my whole life..... > I think why some take the stress better than others is not only the age gaps here. It is some may have been sick for say one, two or three years prior to finding out the truth and removal.. They had time to adjust to that sickness...... Some who got sick and found out way earlier, did not have time to adjust to the sickness..... They were hit like a ton of bricks quickly, therefore I would only have to guess the trauma this must create in our minds and regrets set in and we are just sick and confused..... Post Traumatic Stress Disorder would be easy to get from this kind of sickness and totally understandable. It is all understanding we all have been traumatized both physically and mentally, this is what this group is all about, helping one another and teaching to learn how to cope and detox to feel better...... Let's all stick together and if we each can figure out what works and what don't work for each individuals needs, we cn get our health back... I am ready to fight like hell for this I need this so bad for myself and God knows we all feel the same..... May God Be With Us in Our Time of Need.......
