so this is probably one of the symptoms that I didn't have, but not completely sure....but can anyone try their best to describe what brain fog feels like? Is it physical? can you actually feel a strange sensation? Do you feel it only in the head, or does it affect your eyes and ability to pay attention as well? I ask because I occasionally get this strange sensation where I can't seem to keep my eyes on an object for too long before I get a 'heavy' or 'restless' feeling and I have to dart my eyes away from whatever I'm looking at. I also get a strange 'wave' sensation that goes through my head as if a bowl of water is being swished around (the best way I can describe it) but I do get some crazy, weird, wavy sensations throughout my head, other than the light headedness or dizziness which is identifiable in their own right. I know it's probably a hard question to answer but any replies regarding brain fog would be appreciated.

I imagine it can be different for some of us. When I had brain fog I had the perception that I was kind of in a different state...like out side of my head.

I had to try hard to pay attention to whatever I was doing. I would have visual changes , especially if I was driving down a road that had sunlight and then shade on it It would really mess with my head.

I had waves in my head but they were all heavy numbness, God I hated that.Like roller coaster.

Dont give up hope because with treatment this did get better for me.

Take care, Jo

I have brain fog as a symptom. It is difficult to explain at times I cannot process what someone is telling me, I have a hard time explaining myself, putting together sentences at times, searching for words to describe something that I would pre-Lyme have no problem explaining, at times I feel like I'm in another world is the best way to describe just very foggy. This mostly hits me after I have been asleep it does seem to fade the longer I am awake. I have just started taking a supplement for this called Pure PC liquid. I think it is helping some.

For me it was kind of like being half asleep.

It was hard to focus, concentrate, make decisions and the memory issues - finding words or people's names.

When this occurs does your vision also lose focus? You have to kind of snap out of it by looking at something else and regain focus?

Mine starts with fatigue, memory issues, can't get the words out, can't concentrate on conversations, yes jump around, then it goes into anxiety and depression.
