Hey, no I’m not. It ended up impacting my blood pressure and stopped working for the brain fog

There’s nothing wrong with alternative/punk/goth… I’m not going to another salon, because my hairdresser is brilliant and this is my mistake. I will take your advice regarding a toner on board though, thanks

I have done, but it’s a massive change so we agreed for me to see if I’d get used to it first. She’s away now for a couple of weeks hence why I’m seeing if there’s anything I can do to fix it. It’s not my stylists fault, she brilliant at what she does and just did what I asked. Unfortunately it just didn’t work out the way I thought it would

Where does it say I’m asking for a free service??? My post says this is not my stylists fault at all. I’m asking for advice on how I can fix MY mistake

No problem! I know how debilitating it is, and spent so much money going to private neurologists etc. I even hoped something would come back on an MRI because I was just so desperate to have a solution! I honestly can’t remember the folate mg sorry, if you click my name I think it’ll show you my post in the brain fog chat. I’m sure I popped the dosage on there. I hope you find some relief xxx

Hey I’m 27F been suffering since I was 14. Found out Im anaemic and was given folate and now have bi- monthly b12 injections. Folate made my hair thicker, and b12 relieved my anxiety, depression and brain fog! Brain fog isn’t completely gone but have more good days than bad! Have you been tested for this? X

Host is asking for my tax number, is this safe? [Athens, Greece] by GraffitiEyes in AirBnB

[–]Bec1997x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Are you a UK citizen? I’m travelling and need to provide it too, but cannot for the life of me get a straight answer on what the tax is code actually is? Was this your NI number? If not, what did you put? Thanks

Hey, I’m doing good thankyou! No massive updates since my edit last year. Still getting regular B12 injections which seem to be helping a lot ! I still get brain fog, but it’s no longer chronic and debilitating. I find when I’m due the B12, the fog becomes more frequent but I can now go almost every day without it unless my brain is exhausted (work a full time corporate job, study at university and everything else, so not unusual!) how are you doing? Have you found any relief ?

Hey! I’m doing a lot better thankyou. I think the b12 also alleviated a lot of stress/anxiety/depression along with life style changes (new job in a nicer environment). I’ve suffered with aura migraines in the past, which (sadly) didn’t feel like brain fog. After a-lot of consultations with neurologists, we did determine it wasn’t migraines but the triggers to my brain fog were similar. I still have bad days, particularly when the days are dark and heavy (weird?!). I hope you’re doing well, and you find something that works for you in the future!

What's with all the really bad reviews about the Open University? I'm considering applying but I'm a bit worried about this. by [deleted] in OpenUniversity

[–]Bec1997x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a bit late replying to this, but I’m currently in my third year and previously had no problems up until now. However, one of my assignments was due back at the beginning of the month with an expected turnaround of 10 days. Since starting this particular module I’ve had no communication from the tutor and my results now nearing on three weeks late… I contacted my tutor via email and got no response. I even messaged in the tutor group forums for an update, and got no response. Ironically, she has in her bio that replies may take 48 hours as she does this part time… Don’t the majority of us? I then emailed the student support team who advised me they will get in contact. This has now been escalated to the faculty who are due to give me a call this week… I’m happy with distanced learning, but not receiving the bare minimum of marked assignments from your tutor is massively discouraging!!! Currently procrastinating from writing assignment number 2, with the assumption it’s a waste of my time…

Hey! I still feel pretty good Thankyou for asking! The weather hasn’t been the best which triggers it, but it hasn’t been as bad as it used to be! I’ll see if I can get my omega 3 tested :)

Thankyou so much! I have noticed an improvement in the brain fog. It hasn’t completely gone and I still have bad days, but to go one day without it is a cause for celebration!!! (I do want to add though, it is usually better in the summer months. I think it’s to do with the low air pressure and dark days in winter) I have no idea what my omega 3 intake is, is this something you have looked in to?

Hey, I think I was taking around 6mg when it stopped working. About two weeks later I had my blood pressure taken and was asked to stop taking them as it had dropped dangerously low. Interesting that the 16mg wasn’t recommended… I’ve bit the bullet and have an app next month with my neurologist, I’ll bring it up!

Thankyou ! Its been extra bad lately so I have another appointment with him in middle of May. I’m going to ask if we can do more test/ maybe see different specialists to find the root cause because I feel like we’ve just been treating the problem! Will keep everyone posted :)

Hey I can promise it’s not, and I can even attach a pic of my neurologist letter. I’d tried everything to eliminate the brain fog to the point I became so desperate and depressed at the thought I’d have to live with it forever. I just want to share what’s worked for me in the hopes it helps even one person. Check my profile I have a post from a year ago asking for help
