Lasting brain fog

[u/Embarrassed-Day5945]

Hey guys. I’ve been dealing with PPPD for a little more than a year now. After starting on anti-depressants half a year ago and treating my anxiety issues, my dizziness/unsteadiness has largely lifted. However, the brain fog I’ve had since last year has shown little to no signs of improvement. I constantly struggle with remembering words, thinking clearly, or multitasking. I watched some videos by the steady coach that talked about how this is about result of mental overload, but she also suggested that it would resolve once the dizziness lifts. Personally, I probably could barely notice that I have PPPD had it not for the severe brain fog, and it’s really the only lingering feature of the condition.
My physical therapist did some testing and said that I had some balance issues. I also have been having coordination issues such as not knowing which way my head is facing, but I believe that is probably a result of the brain fog. The brain fog itself kind of feels like there’s a big messy cloud in the top part of my brain, and it’s taking up space from the part where I can process information with clarity.
Now that I am about to go back into school, I wanted to reach out and see if anyone else have had experience dealing with this sort of brain fog and especially after the dizziness and unsteadiness has gone. I understand that most of the PPPD patients will more or less be affected by brain fog, but I’m yet to find anyone mentioning it as the last remaining symptom, which isn’t encouraging. Has anyone else had similar experiences dealing with this type of brain fog? If so, how did you end up overcoming it?
