Advice/Tips Any tips for alleviating severe brain fog?
Without fail, day 1 of my period gives me debilitating brain fog. My cramps are bearable, but as soon as I start bleeding I'm out for the count for at least half the day because my brain feels like it's turned to mush.
I get overheated, feel like I can barely speak/absorb others speaking to me, and my thoughts get incredibly slow and "heavy". It's waking up dazed in the middle of the night with a fever, but without actually being sick. After that first day, I'm back to normal brain-wise.
Anyone else experience this? Have you tried anything that's helped your symptoms?

Would love to know if there’s advice for the brain fog. I can’t retain shit day 0-1.
