Guest guest Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Many time brain fog is caused by lack of restorative sleep, often with some underlying issue like RLS, Fibromyalgia, or other sleep-depriving condition. It can also be the result of sedating medications as well, or a combination of meds that give you that side-effect taken together. Overwhelming fatigue affects driving as if the person was drunk. No wonder it makes thinking and functioning at other activities a lot more difficult. Once I was able to improve my ability to get restorative sleep by treating the pain of Fibromyalgia and the creepy-crawlies of RLS, my ability to retrieve words and speak in complete sentences improved significantly. I never had trouble with work since I do the same type of thing day in and day out, but doing something outside the routine became very difficult. Luckily my rheumatologist was savvy on the problem, and convinced me that treating the two biggest sleep robbing conditions was in my best interest, I've felt so much better.
