Naproxen relieves my brainfog. Anyone Else?

[ChookityPop]

Why do naproxen seem to help me with brainfog? Does it mean It reduce inflammation in the brain? If so does that mean I have encephalitis?

Is this common in ME patients?

Edit: I can add that I have tested positive for anti phospholipid syndrome. Maybe its the blood thinning properties of Naproxen that helps.

I tested it out after hearing it helped someone else, but it didn't help me. You're one of the lucky ones. I assume we have something like encephalitis.

Works on pain, (teeth, knees, joints etc) but no brain effects in me.

I haven't had that experience but NSAIDs are used in mcas to lower prostaglandins /some kind of inflammation. I dont know if they work in the brain or cross bbb though.
