sorry to sound dense, I'm trying to understand if I can expect my brain to go woolly if I stay off the meds, or if the brain fog is a result of the chemical surges produced by the meds.
Getting myself confused here, but on a higher level
getting confused but on a higher level is a perfect description of how we all feel, thank you still chuckling.

If you aren't taking meds, how are you sleeping? are you getting enough? PD affects the entire CNS and probably causes brain fog itself. After we begin meds, the lines become very blurred. i agree with soccertese that once the med kicks in you are more sharp, but at thesame time those on agonists have frequently described brain fog. Hate to fall back to the everyone is different line but if you are unmedicated i'd be inclined to say that when cells are shutting down and the mitchondria don't produce enough energy we could get brain fog from the illness itself.
