K has been complaining of brain fog the last couple of days. In the past he has had this symptom also. Anyone else have experience with this and what have your doctors said? What can we do to help?

I know I have brain fog and it can be due to him being exhausted fighting the illness or a side effect of the meds. I find cold beverages, cool air help me to focus a bit better but I feel like I can't remember much anymore.

C had the worst brain fog when on pred but he still experiences it from time to time now. I do notice he complains about it more when he is tired.
I try to have him suck on peppermints during study time or test time. He says it seems to help him to be more alert fir a short while.

Clash - OMGosh! I did the same thing when I was a student...ha! Now I know I wasn't crazy!
Kyle's mom - O had brain fog once. She couldn't remember the names of subjects in school when telling me about her day! Could be low vitamin b12...that contributes to brain fog.
