On cfs & 'brain fog': any neurology ideas? mds tried modafinil; little help & out of ideas. memory/concentration: always v. bad; worse with less sleep
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's complicated but: Brain fog is common in CFS. It's important to address the cause; many have undiagnosed Lyme disease and/or other infections; in that case need to treat those- see http://tinyurl.com/zlrz84j and http://tinyurl.com/y88wusc9 Possibly nutrient deficiencies (like B12),hypothyroidism, heavy metal toxicity,food sensitivities etc. Herbs like Bacopa, Ashwagandha, Turmeric may help. See good integrative Dr.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I was wondering if you had any ideas on how to get better sleep at night? I try to go to bed at the same time every night and have the same nightly routine. I tend to wake up 5-6 times regularly throughout the night. Sometimes it is very hard to shut the brain off. Any ideas or tips and how to help with this? Thanks in advance. Sleep?
