Dopey head feeling

I get the same thing.... but only when my lyme is getting worse or relapsing. Focusing on something intently minimizes it. Otherwise I feel disconnected. When it is really bad I feel lost outside of my own body.

Up until recently, I found that much of it was made worse by mineral imbalances. If I was depleted in sodium or potassium or zinc, etc and supplemented, I was able to lessen the feeling. It always clears up by itself by late afternoon/early evening though. It has been one of the few things I can depend on no matter how good or miserable I feel. For me, the cycle almost always starts again the next morning. Forcing my body to eat something small before 9 am (for some reason our body clock digests food the best between 7-9am... there are really cool clock calendars in eastern AND western medicine that show all the best times for different metabolic things!) and getting sunlight or using a light box when I wake up sometimes helps mitigate the problems and stabilize me enough to power through the day!
