I am 24 years old, vegetarian (i had brain fog and hypo before this anyway) and have an underactive thyroid gland which i take levo to correct. thing is i have a LOT of brain fog and have googled about this a lot to try and figure out why the hell i have it because my diet is very good hypo aside. thing is, ive noticed that the morning after i have had a night out drinkin my brain fog symptoms are so much better! its so weird!! im so foggy and clumsy normally, but then after drinkin my mental clarity seems to return and i feel like im way more intelligent! at first i attributed it to just having had a really fun night with friends and it giving me a massive lift or somthing like that but i dont really drink very often and its just so obvious to me now that its not that and its something chemical thats going on. im so confused as i would think alcohol would make it worse...but I remember reading something ages ago when i first got hypo and brain fog, before i realised alcohol helped my condition, related to hypo that does clear up seemingly with alcohol but I cant for the life of me find that article again. please HELP!!!! :(!!!! xxxxxxxxx
 
that IS a stange one. the only thing i can add to this is that the area of the brain that is what becomes the most impacted(slowly put to "sleep/the drunk" actually since alcohol just IS a form of actual anesthetic too) when someone drinks is within the cerebellum. that area DOES govern things like gait,vision and just about anything that is what is called our proprioperception? it is the proprio that when a police officer pulls someone over for suspected drunk driving? alll those tests they run you thru simply are checking the proprioperceptive stuff that the alcohol would impact most, esp balance? all within that cerebellum.

i would take a good look at things like the cerebellum or alcohols effects on the cerebellum or simply proprioperception and see what possible connections get made? hope that at least helps. good luck, FB
