Ok. I am sorry you got such a scare.

Usually "cog fog" is a sign of inflammation in the brain, and/or liver toxicity and unless some TEST shows this.. you'll never know.

I have this amazing nutritionist who is specialized not in your typical ways. He can evaluate where you are toxic, deficient and BUILD up your system.

The vitamins we take are not sufficient..trust me. We lack MINERALS in our American diet. The unforgotten element. If you can find someone who is trained in NRT=nutritional response testing.. go to them. They are trained (docs are NOT trained in nutrition, much less this evaluation). THey will NOT diagnose, or tell you to change. BUT they will find out what you may be toxic from (mercury in lots of foods) and what part of your brain are affected.

Some of these providers are nutritionists...some are chiropractors..but I bet what you are going through CAN and WILL be changed so you can be yourself but more improved.

Best to you, Jan

Well your nutritionist is not the one either as you probaby are seeing a dietician. They specialize in meal programs based on your needs; they are good and helpful but do not have NRT training.

Wholistic clinics, chiropractos and some nutritionist (not dieticians we see) have this training. You would have to do a search in your area for those who use NRT.

Trust me I HAVE cog fog at times due to other conditions. AND the ONLY one who could help me was this specialized nutritionist (not dietician I have now).

In fact the dieticians for the bariatric patients still recommend SF foods with Aspartame and Splenda. Aspartame WILL give you neuro type problems and Splenda (which tastes great) is BLEACHED sugar. You are ingesting BLEACH!! The one that is NOT artificial and safe is TRUVIA/STEVIA from the stevia plant. IT costs more, but its worth it.. you use less than regular sugar.

Good luck, Jan

Vitamin B12 plays a role in memory, flow of impulses throughout your nervous system, and mental clarity.  I'm sure your surgeon is likely checking your levels prior to your appointment.  You may want to specifically ask about B12 and make sure your supplementing appropriately. 

Good luck!
