To all of you talking about brain fog. In my situation whenever I have
strickly followed a low carb/ higher protein diet it improves. I was going
to LA Weight
loss and lost 30# but it is very expensive. I do really think your diet
will seriously improve this symptom

was getting worried that I was actually getting stupider over the years, but
read on one of the PCOS info sites that IR can create this. (very nice to
learn when you think you're iq is going down hehe). It seems like my
attention span has gone down (sometimes cant even get through a sentence w/0
forgetting what i was saying), and I dont remember basic things we learn in
school.

anywhere unless I absolutely have to. ANother odd emotional issue, just
yesterday I was driving down our county road (im scared of driving and
havent gotten my license but its legal on the county roads) and out of
nowhere, I thought to myself "am I on the correct side of the road", and
started getting really frightened. These kinds of things are happening all
day everyday and I feel like I'm on a verge of a breakdown (if only i could
cry).. anyone else have this?
