lol @ the joke, too
Heapsreal.....LOL
I do feel like my head is not attached most of the time.....
actually, I often feel like it's in the wrong place, for instance, it grows off the middle of my back, instead of from my shoulders (and the neck is just gone). (this symptom prompted an MRI to check for MS, but it was negative)
does anyone find brain fog to be a low grade headache and have found over the counter pain killers sometimes helpful? I recently took a cough medicine with dihydrocodeine in it for a cough and it helped with my brain fog, thats why im thinking its a low grade type of chronic headache/ inflammation. Pain killers dont always work but sometimes they do.
cheers!!!
yes, I think it is brain inflammation, because topiramate (generic for Topamax), an antiseizure medicine (adjunct, not primary antiseizure) rx-ed for migraines, helps the brain fog. OTC pain meds, especially NSAIDs, help some, too, but not as much as Topamax.
another thing that helped a lot was quitting regular shampoo and conditioner, and switching to safe or almost safe brand. Aubrey Organics is the only truly safe brand I can find, but it has a lot of soy in it. Giovanni and Alba are pretty safe. You can find less toxic products by doing a search for "less toxic products" or "less toxic shampoo" and you will find sites such as
EWG.
I first tried making my own as shown in
Drop-Dead Gorgeous, but the castille soap didn't rinse out of my hair (even with apple cider vinegar rinse), and it got all dull and nasty. That was when I switched to prepared shampoos.
