If you can find something that relieves the brain fog, PLEASE let me know! I can't start school or go to work because of it.

I mentioned that playing video games brings it on - there are other things too. Doing anything that requires complex thinking, like taking tests or conversations with people - especially people I haven't talked to in awhile and have to "catch up" with them. Watching more than 20-30 minutes of TV. Movies - if I try to watch a movie and pay attention to what's going on, bam..fog. There are other things that bring on the fog that I can't think of right now, because I'm currently in "the fog".

You mentioned having the fog all the time. Well, awhile back, I bought a new video game...and I spent all day playing it, probably 8-10 hours. When I stopped playing I was stuck in the fog for like 5 days! I thought it was never gonna go away. I spent those 5 days just resting, not doing anything stimulating. Basically layed in bed all day, occasionally posting on this forum. It finally went away....and it only comes back when I do anything I mentioned above.

So my suggestion to you is, try to take it easy for a few days...by taking it easy I mean stay home (if you can) and rest. Lay in bed, find a quiet, peaceful spot to just clear your mind. That is how I got mine to go away (temporarily). And when it goes away I just take it easy and avoid the things that bring it back.

If you find any strategies of coping with the fog or find a cure or treatment, let me know...really....PM me if you have to. This is the most debilitating symptom I have.
