Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response! Yes, I can relate to the mud too- it's a good way to describe it. As you wrote, sometimes I'm not able to get my thoughts moving out of me. Then, if I try to talk, what comes out is jumbled, fragmented and either in tone or concept, not what I intended to say. I get really frustrated by this.

I had a flu type of thing with fever. But the fever apparently went down or disappeared. But somehow this led to encephalitis (brain swelling also with several hours of seizures and partial paralysis, now resolved but with weakness). All of this also led to a couple different types of brain damage: structural as well as diffuse.

When you get brain fog/muddy thoughts, is your general energy level low or ok?

For me, the lower my energy, the worse the fog.

I hope you have a good night,
Hazzell
