Really? I never thought that would effect the brain fog. I mean, I do
see a nutritionist and have significantly lowered the protein in my
diet so perhaps that is what is helping as well. I'm glad you posted
that. Interestingly, I was doing a high protein diet because I was body
building (last year) and my liver levels all shot up. I hadn't put two
and two together till I saw the nutritionist but I never associated it
with the fog.
When the body breaks down protein, the byproduct is ammonia. When your liver |
isn't functioning properly, the ammonia stays in your bloodstream and gets
to your brain, causing the "fog" which can be confusion, dizziness, loss of
short-term memory and speech difficulties. Red meat is a good one to avoid. |

As for the second round: I'd at least switch from Pegasys to PegIntron, and
make sure in advance that the treating doc will hit you with Procrit and/or
Neupogen to battle anemia/crashed neuts (WBCs) instead of reducing your
treatment meds. Dose reduction should be a last resort - or at least, the
second to last resort, with discontinuation being the last...
Good luck

I take Gingko. It doesn't alleviate it completely but it does take the
edge off. I'm actually able to have a conversation or at least fake it
pretty well. My WBC dropped after 4 weeks but instead of taking me off
tx, I went on Neupogen shots which made it much better. Did your Dr try
you on anything like that first? Good luck with your next round of tx.
I'm on week 11 (geno 1A).
