Brain Fog Treatment

Posted: Brain Fog

I have had migraines since my early teens (I am now 29). About 7 yrs ago I started having different types of headaches (the migraines didn’t stop).. these were more like a horrible pressure in the back of my head. At the time I had an CT scan that showed either calcium deposits or 2 small calcified tumors… the neurologist said this wouldn’t be causing the pressure in my head and that same week I lost my insurance. Later I had another neurologist look at my films (which I still have) as a favor and he said I should have an MRI every 6 months (Ihaven’t had one since because I have no insurance). Soon after this I started having horrible nose bleeds where blood would pour down my face for up to 45mins… the nose bleeds actually made me feel better, these have since stopped but I have other problems now like trouble judging distances… I get dizzy and lightheaded… can’t focus… when I get the pressure in my head I get blurred vision (its like looking through fog or smoke) and my eyes look glassy… I have been trying to go to drs and hospitals again and no one seems to take me seriously… they tell me its just a headache or stress… I finally have a ct scan scheduled for a week from now… my question is if all they find this time are the calcium deposits… what if anything can be done? at this point I am actually hoping for a tumor… at least that is something a dr will take seriously and treat…can calcium deposits cause these types of problems? what other diseases could cause these symptoms? or what are some causes for calcium deposits in the brain?

if you have definite calcifications in your brain and you’re also having nosebleeds, you could have something called Wegener’s Granulomatosis. I know it’s rare, so it’s kind of a long shot, but it causes those symptoms and it involves calcified lumps (haha that sounds so professional). So I would at least ask about it

I took Doxyclycline last yr.~actually OVER a yr now to combat Lyme disease {only 3-5 wks. after getting bitten}. I am pretty confident I must’ve gotten all of it out of my system. ANd was on Doxy for 3 wks.

THE PROBLEM IS—— for the PAST YEAR on and off, IF I start eating refined sugar again I start getting sick w/ burning eyes, brain fog, strange stomach pains, light fever, vaginal pain, light headaches.

IT IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!! Then I go back COMPLETELY on no carb, no sweets {it DOESN’T take much! I am not a "big sweet eater actually" lol! It really takes very little, like a piece of candy here and there,then BOOM! I am back at square one again.}

So went to a diff doctor last wk. He thinks I do not have Lyme anymore coz I caught it so early and am in no pain at all, –all except for the above symptoms, He said {as I read via net all over the place} that FIGHTING OF CANDIDA after the use of antibiotics –many doctors DO NOT Even acknowledge Candida taken place after antibiotic use.
WHAT THE H*LL?? WHY NOT?
I read it takes 4-12 months to get rid of. well I still @^&*@^*&^@&@*^T@ have this nonsense.

I always have to eat boring, plain foods forever and take lots of supplements in order to feel well again, but the thing is, it seems like I can NEVER have "fun" stuff to eat, EVER. I know candida is naturally in our bodies anyway, but I have symptoms of overgrowth, I know my body, and know when I feel good and when I do not. So maybe I should find a holistic doctor now.

I believe it could be because they are not going to treat something that may not be there (putting the cart before the horse so to speak). You obviously are at a much higher risk than say someone within a normal range of Candida in their bodies. My personal recommendation (and I am not a Dr.,but a student), would be to start some probiotics and/or L. acidophilus (can be bought over the counter) and/or ,eating alot of plain yogurt or something like a drink called "Kefir". Many holistic approaches even recommend using plain yogurt on the outside of your body. You should consult your Dr. first before starting anything! =)

I just want my normal life back. ANd want to increase my energy to be happier and work an additional job. All am able to do is do light cleaning in the house, and work PT [20 hrs. per wk.] due to energy being low. This sux man.
Well on a lighter note, IS THERE A MED A DOCTOR CAN PRESCRIBE TO GET RID OF CANDIDA OTHER THAN AN ANTIBIOTIC??? PLEASE HELP ME??? THank you <
It sounds like you did an extensive amount of research. Perhaps you have a ’strain’ of candida.
And it also depends on how much antibiotics you took other than the time you had lyme. Maybe they ran your immune system down. Well atleast you took the lesser of two evils and got rid of it! Congrats and hope you soon recover from the Candida if that’s what it is.
Go get tested asap, and they’ll prescribe the right medicine for you!

I have been sick for 7 months. My symptoms have been anxiety, depression, brain fog, headaches, and fatigue. The brain fog has been the worst. All these symptoms point to yeast overgrowth. But I have this pressure in the back of my head on the left side around my ear. Dizziness and confusion are an everyday thing because of it. Could that also be a symptom of yeast overgrowth?

Yes! Yeast overgrowth is a huge problem for some people and it’s not the easiest thing to get rid of. It can settle in your ear. Three Lac is a good probiotic to take along with Flora Jen 3. These products are a really big help to provide the friendly bacteria that your digestive system needs to fight off the symptoms of the bad bacteria.
