This is my first real post here on reddit, I would like to share my experience with brain fog, fatigue and chronic pain over the last 6 years in hopes that it may be of use to someone. As I share what has helped me I recommend that you take it onboard by looking into these options further as I am an advocate for questioning everything and doing your own research. Decide for yourself how far you want to go to find relief or a cure that works for you.

I have struggled for 6 years with chronic back pain which shortly after resulted in me also suffering with brain fog. It was so debilitating to the point where I was unable to work and bed ridden for 2 years. I am 28 years old now and finally my symptoms have subsided enough to bring some normalcy back into my life. I didn’t think it would be possible and I am sure many of you are on the same boat, looking for anything that will improve not just brain fog but also overall health and wellbeing.

Here are the lifestyle changes that have reduced my symptoms

1. Low Carb Diet
2. Intermittent Fasting
3. No processed or artificial sugar
4. Spoonful of sauerkraut daily (with live bacteria/probiotics for gut health and digestion)
5. 30 minute walk daily (started with 10 minutes and worked my way up)
6. L-theanine (helps with my ability to socialize)
7. Nicotine spray (not a smoker, it just keeps me focused)
8. Blueberries (for their flavonoid properties to the brain)
9. Prolotherapy or PRP (injections that assist with healing damaged connective tissue and tendons for better joint health and mobility)
10. No fap
11. Using a pull-up bar (decompresses the spine)
12. 3 Eggs daily from our own chickens (rich in folate and other nutrients)
13. Little to no caffeine intake (lowers cortisol levels in the body)
