I was always wondering, if brain fog / cognitive issues are part of my issue.
I mean, it seems so, somehow. When I take a look on the ICC and CCC criteria, I match nearly every cognitive problem mentioned there. Its definitely a much milder form of cognitive problems than others have. At least, from what I have read here. Some of us have really hard stuff to deal with. On the other hand, some of you show a pretty impressive amount of intellectual work, when it comes to researching your own illness and concluding possible treatments.
When thinking about myself, I had theese problems lifelong, at least long before illness onset. Word finding problems, forgetting what I was supposed to do...
So when it is pathological? And are there ways to objectify?
I recently ran a IQ test (60 mins) with time limit to see how I react to the cognitive work and mental stress. My body reacted (sweating ect.) and I felt mentally challenged somehow (loss of focus ect.), but I was able to make it through and achieve quite a good result. Does that mean, my cogntition is pretty ok? What are you doing to check yourself?
