We have come to the point where I am going to have to go back to work, and I am nervous about the fog I sometimes get. As a nurse, I can't afford not to be on my game. Any good suggestions on how to battle the "muzzies" would be appreciated - whether you work or not. Thanks!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
have another check it out...
you are so very right that you cannot afford to make Mistakes in your line of work..have had it happen...was given blood thinners right before a surgery...thank GOD another Nurse caught it and the surgery was cancelled and rescheduled...that would a been a Bloody Mess !!
and if your coworkers are aware this can happen to you do not get defensive...be thankful you have careing co workers...is easy to get defensive when someone checks over your work...but in your case that would be best...at least for the patient !
I have no ideas on what lifts the Fog...if I did I would live a much clearer Life !!
as it is I am an airhead...have lost all confidence...and it really is not funny anymore...
Gl to ya !!
Oh, and WHERE do you work ??
ok...I was Just Kidding !!
I take 5-HTP, GABA, L-glatamine, DL-phenyalanine and occassionally tyrosine. I think it's helping as my brain is being given the nutrients it needs to function and is actually starting to. I'm feeling pretty much normal for the first time in 25 very l-o-n-g years.
