It seems like brain fog is indeed a topic many have shared their experiences on. Here are a couple of posts from the forum that might offer some insights:
-
Onandon03 shared on November 22, 2019, comparing brain fog to the spinning circle on a computer screen indicating the system is overloaded. They suggest that just as a computer needs to rest to regain full functionality, so does the brain.
-
On the same note, Onandon03 also described brain fog as when “you cannot think straight because the system is struggling,” in a post from August 11, 2019.

Jools explained their personal experience with brain fog on January 14, 2020, noting it as a symptom that lingers after their migraine attacks. They detailed how it impacts their cognitive function significantly, slowing down their mental processes and affecting memory and speech.
These accounts might resonate with the experience described by @mags about confusion and memory loss post-exertion. It’s a comforting reminder that they’re not alone in navigating these symptoms, and communal sharing could offer strategies for coping or at least a sense of solidarity…
