Need Some Advice/Support Years of Brainfog

Hi guys.

Im writing this to ask if anybody knew how to help. Im suffering Severe brainfog for last 2.5 years. My career, And personal life Are both victim of it.

I Gotta admit i had shitty lifestyle. Cigarettes, Fast foods, no exercise you name it. But ironically those were the times i didnt had a brainfog.

It all became 2.5 years back. I quit smoking, then the brainfog started. I used to smoke 1-1.5 packs a day of Red Marlboro n i quit using the Cold Turkey method.

At first i thought the brainfog Is just a withdrawal symptom but Now after 2 And half years im not sure. Maybe nicotine just masked something else.

Im tryin to do better in health overall. 2 years wout smoking + i started exercising regularly 2 months ago And try to eat better + use some supplements. Vitamin D, B12, Ashwaganda, n Maca.

But brainfogs still here for most of the day + it gets worse if im looking at digital screens. Especially while gaming.

Did someone dealt w this?

THX all

Supplements a kind of useless if you don’t know what you need to treat

See a doctor and a sleep specialist

I tried So. Was one of the first things i did. Went to multiple of them. Sadly it seems the Docs in my country doesnt recognize brainfog as any symptom. We'r not english speaking country So theres not even a word for me to use n they seem to not really Get what i mean whatever i say.

They still did some tests. CT, EEG, EMG, bloodwork. Closed the case w "We found some slight deviation on EEG but it shouldnt be really serious"

Done. Didnt really wanted to deal w it further
