I’ve finished a book. That might be the blandest statement ever, but I haven’t been able to concentrate on anything over a couple of pages at the same time for years, putting me off reading (besides the brain rot that everyone -including me- is suffering from).

This was an easy read, now unsure whether to go see the film despite the good reviews. Maybe read The Martian instead?

Day 4: "Brain fog" has a "foggy" definition. The term is used to describe symptoms across multiple disorders, from fibromyalgia to long Covid to hypothyroidism, but it's unclear whether this is the same symptom with a shared neurobiological mechanism or multiple ones bundled into the same definitional trenchcoat. Why would that matter though? Because what's not properly defined cannot be properly operationalized, i.e. it makes it difficult to study, understand, and treat.
(This post has been inspired by a particularly rough allergy day. Because where's the fun in life if the air isn't trying to kill you sometimes? For a more scientific coverage of the topic, I found this article interesting: https://www.cell.com/trends/neurosciences/fulltext/S0166-2236(25)00017-7)

Good...2 hours of work and I have worked up a client contract, send an invoice, **** an email and then fixed it, shared about my comicbook a bit, and thanked my ko-fi supporters who wanted their names on the page. <3

Today's small pleasure is finishing my little todo notebook. I actually used it! Turns out I was right: having a couple cute pens and a very bright notebook does help me remember to make plans and check them through the day

Is heavy metal toxicity the silent overhead draining your #productivity? 🛑

For #solopreneurs, mental clarity is a top business asset. If you're battling "pea soup" brain fog or fatigue, it might be toxic overload, not just "stress."

I’ve identified 8 signs your biological hardware needs an upgrade—and a 3-part system to flush the "malware" out.

Seriously though: That "will stay" statement sounds strangely similar to "#CoVID will become endemic". Designed to induce apathy. Very fitting, given that both cause neurological problems. One could even go as far as looking at both's timelines and wonder whether it might be profitable to push both.

I've tried pushing for #DavosSafe office air at my employer and was rebuffed. Since then: both #BrainFog & GenAI abound.

New study points to specific brain activity in those with "brain fog" - 80% of those with Long-COVID, they say. “Our findings clearly demonstrate that Long-COVID brain fog should be recognized as a legitimate clinical condition." Study published Oct 1 '25 in *Brain Communications*.

Symptom: MCAS Brain Fog

This post comes to you with a reminder that while “Brain Fog,” is an apt descriptor, it should not be used to undermine the severity of the condition.

“These are fairly identical functional symptoms that people with Long COVID have, to the symptoms that people within a traumatic brain injury have,” says Dr James C Jackson, psychologist specializing on cognitive rehabilitation and Long Covid.

“Strictly speaking, this is not a traumatic brain injury (TBI) because there’s no external trauma. Which is why if we go down deep, this will be not a TBI that people experience. It would be something called an ABI, the lesser-known cousin of a TBI. Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI) happen often due to internal processes, not external medical processes, inflammation, the 101 other mechanisms that drive these injuries. And when we look at the brains of some Long COVID patients, we see brain damage on MRIs, we see indicators that are not dissimilar from those of people with mild cognitive impairment or a mild TBI.“

Dr Jackson is the author of Clearing the Fog: a book on navigating life with the cognitive and mental health impairments that often accompany Long Covid.

Quotes from Dr Jackson’s appearance on the Me Myself & TBI podcast, edited for clarity & brevity.

This morning I felt the brain fog drifting in. Out of curiosity, I checked my Apple Watch to see what my blood oxygen levels were. Maybe they'd been bad overnight? No, they'd been good.

So I checked my current blood oxygen levels. They were down to 88%. Yikes!

I spent the next few minutes doing square breathing. I tested again and my blood oxygen was up to 98%. My banks of brain fog dissipated.

What the heck? Do I just stop breathing or something and that's why I can't think for shit? What is this nonsense?

The next time I have bad brain fog, I'll check my blood oxygen levels again. #BrainFog #BloodOxygen #RespiratoryDisease

Cognitive decline didn't start with COVID. It started with lead additives in gasoline and the car revolution in the 60s.

We're still munching lead from those three decades of lead distribution via public roads measurable even in the Arctic ice where there are no roads that could spread lead covered dust left and right.

Cognitive dysfunction ("brain fog") cannot be equated to occasional forgetfulness and lapses in concentration experienced by healthy individuals, rather it is a complex and distressing symptom.

Wasn’t as #tired as I thought, so played a bit of the fave game, had a second breakfast, but still meh. I felt awful first thing this morning, the #somatic practise has been bringing things up as it said it would, and I can deal with it, but it’s pretty heavy sometimes. And I’m kinda stuck with boredom between too tired to do various things and only so much interest in gaming or whatever I can manage. It’s some kind of void limbo over here.

“Symptoms of #LongCovid range from the profoundly disabling to 'merely' upsetting. Those with long #Covid frequently display a core set of symptoms, Altmann says, including #breathlessness, #fatigue, #wheeze, post-exertional #malaise and #BrainFog.

But about 200 other symptoms are also associated with the disease, and can come and go, including word-finding difficulties, #insomnia, skin #rashes and new #allergies.”

Hay enfermedades, discapacidades etc que despiertan empatía, se ven como ejemplo de superación o motivación. Héroes.
Con otras eres vago, no te esfuerzas lo suficiente o si haces x es que no estarás tan mal, te callan si lo cuentas. Quieres dar pena. Egoísta.

Superarse no es "estar bien". Es hacerlo "a pesar de".
Y el tema cognitivo es tan importante como el físico #brainfog

Con esto en mente.
Tardo mucho en escribir un toot, un tuit, etc.. y empeoro "si me paso". Si a esto le añado la descripción de imágenes que prácticamente es otro post ¿tiene sentido que alguien con discapacidad enferme por ayudar a alguien con otro tipo de #discapacidad? #AltText

Okay, an #introduction. Who am I...

Superficially, I am a middle-aged white cis-gender woman. Under the surface... it's complicated.

I am an artist that struggles to make art. I suffer from chronic migraines and joint pain. I suffer from depression and anxiety, for which I am thankfully medicated. I've discovered I most likely have ADHD and may be autistic (though I'm not yet comfortable self-diagnosing out of respect for those who are #actuallyautistic). I am asexual/demisexual and "pan-appreciative" (I can appreciate the attractiveness of all peoples, but I just don't feel sexual desire for them).

I love most things paranormal, supernatural, and "new age" because I desperately want there to be more to life than this mundane, soul-crushing reality. I'm an off-an-on avid reader, enjoying urban fantasy, sci-fi, high fantasy, police procedurals, cozy mysteries... I like a lot of different genres. Tell a good story and I'm into it. I love planners and bullet journaling, but I have yet to find planner peace.

I am fascinated by Forensic Science and Neuroscience and was in school continuing my education in those topics until recently. Unfortunately, health issues and financial circumstances have put that on hold for now. But I still love the topics.

I can probably think of more, but this already feels like a lot. Ask me anything though, if you're genuinely interested I'm pretty much an open book. :)
