(lack of) Vitamin D / Iron do this to me. And just general overwhelm/stress - I find myself not finding words, forgetting names, etc. Then I will crash out for a day or two and reset. I have never gone without caffiene so can't comment - I'll give up everything else but my morning espresso.

I also sometimes get on the ginko tablets after a virus etc - I find it helps a little with brainfog, for me,

Interesting, I have had covid three times, and I wonder if it's a long covid thing. I almost want to be someone who researches the pathophysiology behind things like this, because I am too curious about how things like viruses and hormones interact with our brains and other organs at the cellular level.

Have some vitamins hehe :) when was the last time you got bloods done?
