@MAP @Scott F
There is some peace of mind that brain fog, fatigue and general lack of focus...and motivation are not just imagined and that others of you struggle with this. Thank you for sharing that.
It has been rough as I miss my energy, it is affecting my job and family life; it is a daily battle. I feel like I am missing out on life and being there for others. More frustrating at this point because I am so so grateful not to be dealing with the symptoms of UC and I work to keep things in perspective that way!
I did order the ionic mag you recommended and I take Florajen, Vita E, emergenC and Metamucil daily. I am on no medications except Nasacort and sometimes when the fatigue and fog really affect my functioning I will take Nuvigil which can be a temporary lifesaver but it affects my sleep which is also never fully restful (related issue?), lack of sleep has been ongoing.
I am aware that dehydration does not always have symptoms and wondering if you might have a rule of thumb on how much to drink daily? I do have liquidy diarrhea daily..maybe not enough Metamucil? I so know there is still a better quality of life out there for me (and others). Please keep your suggestions coming.
Thanks for helping me through this...as well as the others in this group.
