I can erase the thought that the brain fog is totally caused by your medicines as I take NOTHING for my RSD..(bad tummy) and I am totally brain fogged.. Iam a case study within my self..As Sandy's daughter and I both don't take meds and as I read, Sandy agrees.. Now i am not saying meds dont play a part in it..but I have brain farts and loss all of the time..I have admitted and given into it as no doubt our limbric brains are invloved and I don't question it..will it get worse?? Not sure but in the mean time it is real, scarey but our life now...I sometimes worry as I drive if I will remember how to get back home.....
