For a couple of years or more my brain has stopped working!!!! I used to be hot on quizz shows, crosswords etc. I didn't need notes to remember things or needed my diary! But nowadays I just can't think or remember things - I have fibro, insulin resistance and candida could this be the cause? Or is just that I'm getting older(I'm 47). I feel like I have cotton wool in my head!

Does anyone else have this problem? what could be causing it and what can I do to get my brain back? It's so frustrating!

Hi Jems

Yep, that is a common problem - memory loss.

I had it several years ago.

Your Fibro and Insulin Resistance can be the direct result of having a candida infection.

I had insulin resistance and my hair was falling out. Luckily, my doctor realized it was my thyroid because whenever he took my temp it was low. A low thyroid aka hypothyroid can make you insulin resistant and make your hair fall out (two things that any doc would think was diabetes) but in my case was the thyroid not doing its job properly.

The thyroid can also need support after having such chronic ills like Fibro. Look into with a trust General Practitioner or go to the specialist, an Endocrinologist (probably your best bet because they changed the number indicators for thyroid just last year and not all docs are up on the info like the Endo's will be).
