[Topic Discussion] 25-year-old subjective consideration of brainfog (beware of long sentences)

Hello, DaMo members. I'm a 25-year-old student currently experiencing top of the head and DUPA hair loss.
(You can find out about my hair condition from my previous post.)
The reason I'm writing this is to share my thoughts with people who have similar concerns with me about brainfog symptoms.Please understand that the writing is rather long.

I've been on pinasteride drugs (profecia, monafecia) for about four months since July this year when I became aware of hair loss. Having been on medication despite my disbelief about the symptoms of brainfog, I finally decided to take it, combining what I had heard from my doctor myself and the crazy experience of not remembering my friend's name at the age of 25.

I graduated from a foreign language high school in the Seoul metropolitan area and have an enemy at a university in Sinchon. Currently, I am preparing for a professional examination. Because all I've done in my life is studying, I can make judgments about whether I'm doing it properly and the speed of my brain rotation when I study. However, after I realized that I had hair loss, I couldn't concentrate on studying. The fact that I had hair loss at the height of my 20s felt like the sky was collapsing, so it might have been natural that I couldn't get my hands on studying. I was so stressed that it was hard to even live a normal life that I finally went to the psychiatric department and was prescribed antidepressants. However, due to the nature of antidepressants that relax the muscles of the body (badly speaking, make the body droop), I was too sleepy and my head was blank after taking the drug, and eventually I stopped taking antidepressants because I thought it was inappropriate to take them during the exam.

However, even though I stopped taking antidepressants, my brain rotation and memory did not improve much. I was constantly spaced out, and I couldn't memorize things at once even if I saw them many times, and I couldn't even memorize what I saw just now.
At first, I thought it was my mental problem. So I did nothing for a week, took a rest, supplemented my stamina, and I repeated my motivation and mental armament dozens of times every day. Nevertheless, my previous sharpness showed no signs of returning, and for me, as an examinee, every day was passing by frustratingly.

In the midst of all these sad times, I went to the hospital once a month for oral medication prescriptions, and I happened to go to different hospitals due to moving in and out of the house. Every time I met new doctors (three in total), I asked for their opinions on brainfog symptoms. The previous two said that there are such words, but it is not a clearly identified medical symptom.

And, the doctor I met most recently said this.


"Basically, oral drugs for hair loss are drugs that suppress male hormones. Lack of male hormones lowers the overall vitality of the body and feels lethargic. Because of that, you may feel a little down."


decreased activity and lethargy due to the inhibition of male hormones. Both of these are obvious facts, and I think this is the brainfog symptom itself. This is because the body's vitality decreases and the feeling of lethargy means that the brain in charge of our thinking and cognition feels lethargic.


Skeptics of brainfog say it's just a subjective feeling.


[Voiceover] Right. Brainfog is a subjective feeling. This is not a symptom that can be clearly expressed numerically, and the degree of appeal varies from person to person. Even the same person sometimes doesn't feel symptoms depending on the environment and circumstances they are in. In other words, it's only natural that some people feel brainfog and others don't. It's a contradiction to deny the existence of symptoms just because they don't necessarily appear at the same level for everyone, but rather, I think many of the many articles that complain of brainfog and memory loss show that brainfog symptoms clearly work in our bodies by any mechanism (although with some degree of difference).


I'm not a doctor, and I don't want to argue that my opinion is 100% correct. I respect the opinions of people who think differently from me. Nevertheless, the reason I'm writing this is because I want to be able to help others a little bit by sharing my opinion on the condition of brainfog, which is unclear whether it exists or not, but is a huge frustration and disruption to daily life.


The inhibition of male hormones and the resulting loss of vitality and lethargy. This was a given fact.


But the interpretation of the difference, and the judgment of how much it works on brain rotation and memory, is up to each person, not the doctor, not the pharmaceutical company, not the godmother members here.


I don't know when it will be, but I plan to take oral medicine again after the exam. Until I'm done studying...I don't think it's going to be easy to take lol...
