re: "Brain fog"

I got laid out with a pretty rough case of flu about two-and-a-half weeks ago. I'm just now getting back to about 90%. Brain fog is REAL and it can make doing a detailed take off for a construction project a cast iron bitch.

I asked a question, you dumbass. Pretty clear- guess you need your hand held like a little bitch

No. I need you to articulate what you are trying to say... better, because you leave a lot left for assumption.

Several medical conditions can cause this. I've had a loved one (who is not elderly) who has struggled with it for 30 + years. It's frustrating as hell. But there are several medical reasons (not fibromyalgia) that causes it.

The one that conerns me sometimes is going through a busy intersection and 45 seconds later realizing I have no memory of just going through that intersection and couldn't give the play-by-play. Happens occasionally.

I generally use it to describe a mild to moderate cognative impairment that is associated with some organic process - could be as simple as poor sleep, prolonged stress, illness such as infectious disease, or endocrine changes (menopause is of course the biggie here). To me the most important distinguishing characteristics are reversibility and insight from the affected person. "I'm just not feeling like myself" is often heard.

Try taking vyvanse/Adderall for 15 years and then stop. You'll know brain fog is real.

Heroin withdrawal is tough too. Moral of the story: don’t be a drug addict

Brain fog is just a phrase by some whiny women who are making up some syndromes. Usually, somebody who claims they have brain fog will then claim they have so-called “Long COVID.”


I don’t know why the OP is getting downvoted here.

Have you ever not slept well or been sick haha? I have never heard someone use brain fog as an excuse for “shitty choices in life.”
