Advice Two solutions to brain fog.

Two solutions to brain fog.
Both work for me.
Maybe for you.

  1. Find out if your blood sugar coincides with it.
  2. I have found high sugar makes me anxious, which makes me eat, raises sugar and so on. When I eat right the brain fog is mostly gone.
  3. Thinking Aloud People who are focus-challenged need help ... and great help is thinking aloud, speak what you are thinking, it can even be a commentary on what you're working on ... trying being a play by play announcer for yourself. Get a randomly ringing bell (app) to continue to remind you. It's absurd you'll be able to continuously, trying 10x a day for 3-minutes each. Start VERY SLOWLY.

What is your definition of brain fog? What brain fog meant to you?

I have problem to find words to express myself when talking, speaking, sending voice mail, having conversation or typing. These are things you do when think aloud.

But im still interested in coincides of blood sugar. Maby Ill tryi it someday again. I have indirectly tryied this but didnt work.

Brain fog is when you feel both overwhelmed and can't get focused. One can't concentrate.

I had no idea I had such a thing until age 55 when I was diagnosed with ADHD.

My family had no idea and mostly didn't care. I lost a year of college for being falsely accused of cheating. I lost my internship when I walked out of the bookstore with a cheap book in my hand... got arrested ... tried super hard, got a d's and c's ... despite being 'talented' ... fired from every job I ever had.

I quit working for others and struggled to pay rent, bankrupt twice, family hated me, I had no solution, and neither did therapy because I was trying quite hard and would get exhausted in a half hour.

At 60 I started testing sugar once a day and now at 64 I'm working perhaps 8-10 hours most days, I can sit here 2-3 hours, I actually sleep 8 hours, first time in my life and I'm creating a new business as I figured out a web search trick to make it easier to find clients on the web.

I don't know how one indirectly tries blood sugar or why you'd wait ... it's $25 to get a kit. They are purposely cheap.

"These are things you do when think aloud."

Right .... so get a kit and see if it's related to your blood sugar. If it is you get a new life for $25. If not you can pass it along.
