It could be any number of bacterial infections. Probably co-infections. You've already tested high for mycoplasma and you've got clotting disorders, so it makes sense that your infection could be quite pervasive and your inflammation out of control. The bacterial toxin load, and the resulting inflammation, create numerous symptoms including inflammation/swelling of the brain. All I can say is most of the CFS treatments you hear about will probably do very little good. Especially with those clotting problems which prevents your Immune System (blood) from being as effective as it could be. You're going to need to start addressing your organisms if you want to feel better. I used to be so foggy headed I couldn't think or speak straight. Often felt like I was going to pass out. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatories have relieved the brain symptoms. pennyirishdrought1955
