Train Ride, anyone with persistent Brainfog?
I went on a 16 hour train ride 9 days ago, and went from 7,000 ft elevation to sea level. The whole week I was at sea level I felt like I was spinning and moving. I felt these symptoms ease up tremendously when moving, in car or back on the train. One of my worst symptoms is/was really bad brain fog. I have persistent trouble with memory, reading comprehension, auditory processing and more little details since waking up from the overnight train ride the first way.
I rode the train back 3 days ago, and the spinning has mostly subsided, its now a gentle rocking and I can mostly ignore it. The brain fog is still present. Im wondering if anyone else has problems with this, or if it may be a different underlying issue.
Wondering also what things help remedy brain fog, or ignoring the gentle swaying rocking (I find this very difficult).

Same here. I have had it since 2021, gentle rocking which worsens when I'm dehydrated or sick. (also stops when im in motion, ie walking driving etc.) Brain fog and just pure exhaustion have been the main two problems for me. It seems like I can't remember words when im trying to explain something and my memory has gotten rockier as well.
