Hey people, E-Man here..
I have just spent another entire day pinned down to the sofa, slobbering, unable to lift my own head or literally do much of anything else either. I'm frustrated as hell, just as many of you are too and I wish I could actually help and offer some solid, useful advice but at the moment I'm struggleing to remember what I wish to type here. I've been in a literal "brainfog" for 7 days now and I have finally figured out why also, although it isnt as easily correctable as some of the other conditions and disorders I also have too.
The "brainfog" is caused by the fact that I have an autoimmune system disease called rheumatoid arthritis that many of you already know of. The cause of the lapse of memory, distorted cognetive ability, feeling like I have no idea whats going on, is caused by the bodys response to inflammation. Although I am not in pain, I'm sore and have stiffness in many of my joints and muscles. The body releases (inflammatory cytokines which are protein molecules that are also the same ones released when patients have a severe cold, or the flu). I'm pretty sure you've all felt that feeling of "wtf is going on" or "holy s**t I'm tired as hell" during those types of illnesses and sicknesses. That is what this feels like, even though I'm not physically sick, coughing, sneezing, fever, chills or any other symptom that would be associated with colds or flus. It is weird as hell to say the least, and I am not in control of it either but now I know what it actually is. Knowledge=Power...Now, what I do with this new knowledge I have no idea yet. All I do know is that laying around this f**kin place when its 70 degrees and sunny is complete bullshit and is pissing me off.
I hope to somehow figure out how to deal with these symptoms of RA without having to take toxic medications and I have tried using different stimulants already too, none of which do a damn thing to get me up and going or alert either..Just another aspect of this stupid disease that is an after effect of high anxiety. I'm trying though!!!
I will return at some point to try to help you all out in some way, but as it stands...I have little idea or clue about how to handle this issue myself.
Best wishes,
Enduronman.
