Brain fog

I have heard this so many times and have never really known quite what it means - but I think I know now!

Since a heart attack (that needed a stent) and worsening of AF (that needed a pacemaker) I am now on several drugs designed to prolong my life by preventing deterioration in my heart.

We have done a lot of jiggling around with doses to try and achieve a good risk/benefit balance, but I truly feel as though someone has switched me off at the main - has gone to the wall and pulled out my plug.

Everything, even thinking, is effortful and requires girding up the loins and summoning some grit from somewhere.

Anyone else ever had brain fog?

I see the BBC Programme on Brain Fog states “increase vitamin B”. Be very careful! I started taking Vit B complex to help with my nails and ended up with chronic, several times a day diarrhoea. Stopped taking them when I realised but still receiving the after effects. Really unpleasant.

I have it in the mornings- takes me ages to get going but I do eventually.

This morning I found I had put a bag of uncooked pasta in the fridge!

I feel like two different people sometimes...
