brain fog going on 8 years, doctors have nothing to say

Hi @Chadwick
But I have described it to people as how my brain has felt at moments of extreme stress, when it just empties and can't work properly. I feel as though it's like the blood or the oxygen or something vital isn't getting through to do all the fine cognitive stuff properly.
Hope you find some answers

This is EXACTLY the feeling!! Thanks for sharing your story and supplements. Most of my labs were pretty normal including some you listed-- The only out of whack things were low vitamin D and a thyroid nodule (but normal thyroid labs). So outside of increasing the D I haven't been found many clues. I've heard about selenium too so I might try that!
