It is a good thing that my head is bolted on, (after the wreck I had two surgeries and had plates, wires and screws placed in my neck) because I would forget where I put it, forget that I was looking for it and would be talking to myself outloud the entire time I was trying to figure out what I was just doing... I guess it is the brain fog, is there anything I can take to help with this? I hid my gun and pills when my young nephew came to visit and could not remember where I hid them for three days and I didnt just remember where they were, I searched the entire house many times and found it in a place I had looked many many times... I feel like I am losing my centered feeling, losing my "I can handle this" feeling... anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks,
Paindora

" The mental sides was the reason I had to quit working.
I would take a piece of equipment a part to repair it.
and could not remember how to put it back to together.
be looking all over for a wrench and the wrench was in
my hand all the time.
At home I had my wife that help me.
You may need to have some one to come and see how
you are doing every day. I feel so sorry for people that go
through this and live alone. "

" Welcome to the world of brain fog.
Jeez it's been years for me, and I still very much suffer from brain fog.
Some post treatment take provigyl, some ritalin.
But usually prescribed post tx.
Since the cause of the brain fog is from being on ineterferon for a long period of time, like us type 1.
We are more susceptible to get a hard case of it. "

" thanks you guys, it could have something to do with this water in my lungs, it has made me very weak, sicker, foggier and I had a chest xray today and will find out if I have to be taken off treatment or not by noon tomorrow.

I feel like I am drowning, I have tried over the counter meds to try toclear my lungs, nothing seems to work. This has been harder than I thought it was going to be, much harder. I respect all that have done this before me, I thought I was tough, I am a wuss, I will let you all know what the results are.
