Can't drink any fluids without making cognition worse?
 
This has been going on for many many months now. Whenever I consume any type of beverage, even just water, my head fills up with dark clouds and its impossible to think. Even just a sip of water will have this effect. It will screw me up for hours or sometimes the entire day!!!

Anyone know what this means? Its frustrating because our bodies are made up of about 50-65% water. Its absolutely necessary to stay hydrated. I ate a bowl of cereal last night and I've been fogged up from the milk ever since. I had another bowl this morning and couldn't even discuss a financial issue with the manager of my complex.

I'm never cognitive symptom free, except for one day out of the month, so i'm already dealing with enough crap. Not being able to drink water, which is something that is suggested by doctors to help, is making this much worse.

What's up with that? My doctors have never heard of it.

I would say it's probably the action of moving your neck rather than the fluid consumption.
