TLDR - Sudden onset of constant brain fog and feeling really mentally and emotionally drained.

Hello friends. I really need some people to just bounce off of who understand what I'm going through right now. I've spoken to doctor after doctor and none of them seem even remotely concerned and keep telling me to rest.

Around 6 weeks ago I started a one week dose of doxycycline (an antibiotic) because a blood test showed my body was fighting multiple infections (I felt relatively okay). As soon as I started these antibiotics, my body became a zombie. I was so physically exhausted that I was constantly feeling as if I were going to fall asleep. I pushed through that week and began to feel better as soon as the medicine had cleared my body.

About a week after I finished the antibiotics I found myself back to normal. Suddenly, I was unable to sleep for two nights straight and on the third day realised I was dizzy and disorientated (makes sense since I didn't sleep?).

My sleep went back to normal pretty much straight after that though my symptoms have remained.

It's been three weeks now and I can't focus, I feel like my eyes are constantly strained, it feels as if the world is moving slightly faster than my brain (think how you are when you're drunk/tipsy). I'm not forgetting words or seeing double and the world isn't spinning around me but I can't watch TV, I can't look at a computer screen at work (I've lost my job now 🙃). I honestly feel a little sensitive to light???

I'm not getting answers and doctors are brushing me off. I feel like a burden and I'm worried that I'm going to have to move back home to an unsafe environment. Like surely sudden onset of Brain Fog and confusion and an inability to focus is not normal? I've dealt with exhaustion from high blood sugar when I was diagnosed T2D and it was nothing like this. My bloods are normal. No recent COVID, no recent anything (the bloods were to check my diabetes). My iron is fine, my blood count is perfect, my vitamin and mineral check is perfect. No heart issues (EKG already done), no blood pressure issues, no cholesterol or kidney or liver issues. My diabetes is basically non-existent due to managing it well.

I only started feeling like this after I started those antibiotics. Its constant. I feel like this always. I sleep 10 hours a night. I have a sleep study to confirm sleep apnea but I've struggled with that for most of my life why would it course these kind of symptoms now?

Did I just push my body past a breaking point and it can't come back?

Sorry for the convolution towards the end but I feel so alone. I feel like a mess. I'm normally so put together. I had an amazing stress free job that paid really well. I participate in multiple weekly social events and sing and perform in community and professional settings in my city. I'm 23 and I should be in my prime and it's all been stripped away in a matter for two months... 🙃
