Spacing out all the time

I don't know what to tell you. A friend of mine takes Taurine now and her focus and mental clarity greatly improved. She is the guinea pig for my son :) He has problems concentrating, but what you are describing is a little different. I used to not be able to understand what I was reading, but not really have a focus problem as far as I remember. Sorry I can't be of more help. I don't have a medical background but maybe it is related to your vision. I hope Lyme is not messing with your eyes. I say this because my son's prescription for eye glasses doubled, after getting lyme. His eyes are out of focus sometimes if he gets angry, like one looks straight at you and the other is a bit off. Again, this is happening only when he gets angry, and it is a new problem, so I am convinced it is lyme related. They eye dr didn't see any problems because his eyes looked normal that day. Have you seen an eye doctor?
Good luck!

I'm pretty sure I have experienced what you are talking about a number of times. I definitely get it a lot with computer screens and my eyes water and I can't focus or read the words on the screen that well. I don't know how to fix it except to get better... Acetyl-l-tyrosine helped with my confusion and mind-fog a bit. The first time I took it I was able to change lanes in a car confidently for the first time in well over a year. But now I've taken it pretty much everyday since then and have just been chasing that "high" ever since. The first day I took that and acetyl-l-carnitine was the only 3 hours that I haven't had brain fog in many years. It was magnificent.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Weird I never thought that it could be a physical problem with the eyes... I always thought that it was trouble focusing them and interpreting the messages. I hope it's not a physical problem... Keep us posted!

Can relate...I'm sorry. It's kind of like your out of it, but conscience. You have to scream at your brain to space in, but its too much effort to push eyes and brain to work together. So you stay looking out of it for some time. U can hear and see, but sometimes my vision becomes blurred with this. There have been periods when it was better and worse for me. Don't recall which intervention helps, or which specific problem causes it...Seems to get worse, when other symptoms start.
It also almost feels like your brain isn't functioning at its fullest....(or like, it's half dead inside, and your doing everything in one step pieces, till you get it done, cuz you don't have the mental capacity to think, or the ability to connect pieces to form a thought out thought).
Is this what you mean?....I ignored this, was like, 'ok, a new lyme symptom, whatever, I'm trying my best"...my doc. doesn't know, but for me, this eventually progressed to seizures.

I think when the issues were targeted I got better. I think I recall this got better with IV glutathione (helped to get rid of the neurotoxins). I also took some tindamax for parasites, which was a major issue, that was not being treated...and started with chlorella, a binding agent for toxins....and I had some temporary improvement....but recently it's been back (wasn't able to follow up).

This for me is one of the very worst symptoms. I would always describe it to people by saying it's as if I'm not present. As though, when I'm out in public or at a party and I need to be sharp, it's as though I'm watching it all happen from the couch at home, as though I'm far away. If that makes any sense. Now I describe it as spacing out because that's much easier for people to comprehend.

It's not so much a focussing issue in the sense that there's nothing particularly wrong with my eyes, even though it feels that way. I've had them checked. The problem must lie in the brain, or the inflammation in the brain. I'm not sure. I've had this for the past two years, and it still hasn't gone away. One thing I have noticed is that it's worse during a very bright day, or in a place with hard light.
