    not so much brain fog but cant think clearly. Like no problems long term memory but the very short term memory, when u try and think its foggy. Say its 1pm now, u try and think exactly what u were doing at 12.00pm or something like that. The day before is fine tho. Well sorta. Get what i mean? This problem has only just hit me and i dont know what it is. Ive had a few things on my blood test done and it seems to be ok. But i think it might be thyroid related. My tsh came back at 2.18 which supposedly is normal but to a few ppl on here seems high.

    My doc called me the other day saying i have severe sleap apnea, which for me does two things:

    1) shitty sleep, and tired during the day
    2) reduced oxygen saturation at night, starving the brain for Oxygen

    both of which can give the symptom of "brain fog"

    Thats what im putting it down to, this has only hit me around 2 months or so ago. I dont think my sleep is the best at all. Tho im not waking up during the night anymore. I used to tho.. Times roman what can u do about this?

    I feel sometimes foggy, disconnected. Trying to think makes me feel tired/trying to dig thru the fog in my head etc. Tried Vitb6. all vitamns. Krill oil. Injectable b12. Even nootropics. None seem to help. Feel fatigued, sometimes depressed. Altho not lately. Maybe its getting better but im not sure. Have had blood work done and it seems fine. My VitD was low so ive been on 5000ui daily and i think its improving but nothing yet lol.

    Tsh came back fine supposedlyt. But i might start on 25mcg of T3 to see if it helps. Altho i wanna start lean bulking soon so ReALLY PREFER to use T3 when dieting down. My last thyroid check last year my tsh was a whopping 3.19 or something. Then a few weeks ago getting it tested was 2.18. So the A-rr T3 musta helped altho used that last october sometime. But yeah Am gonna try and get a full list of stuff checked in Kels thread.

    Any advice guys?

    I have to agree with TR. I believe sleep has a lot more to do with it than hormones (guessing here) But perhaps a more aggressive blood panel would reveal something interesting and shed light on this problem.

    Would that also explain why im feeling shitty? A lot of things dont make me really feel good. Sometimes i get a europhic feeling but most f the times i just feel mutual. cant be test levels as im cruising on 250mg test e a week. ATM

    You indicated in your first post you only had a "few" blood tests. Im suggesting that maybe if you had a more comprehensive blood panel covering other areas, it may reveal something unusual. Again, just thinking out loud here..

    Does anyone know if a blood test can reveal if you have any yeast or fungus build up such as candida?

    I actually do know of something some people take to kill candida, but I need to find the link and I first want to go to Labcorp because I think they have a candida test.

    it seems liek the only solution to rid it so far is diet. But even tho ive been eating whatever lately.But before i had this problem which developed around christmas time last year i was fine. So im not sure if it is candida. It might possibly be. But ive been following the same diet before this so i dunno if its caused by what i eat. Might be sleep apnea. who knows. But bro if u could find the link for me i would appreciate that!.

    DO Labcorp have a test?

    Could google around, I've seen one home test is something like you spit in a glass of water and then if you have candida it grow "strings" from the spit, but I don't know if it's a reliable test.

    I think everyone has some, but if you grow too much then you have trouble.
    One way to know maybe is to take that stuff and I would think you would feel bad if there was a bunch of yeast being killed, but your docs probably have a test.
