Brain Fog is present most of the time, meaning it does not come and go. The term fog is used because it feels like a cloud is obstructing your mental clarity.

It is characterized by:

🧠 Confusion
🧠 Forgetfulness
🧠 Discouragement
🧠 Depression
🧠 Tiredness
🧠 Difficulty thinking
🧠 Poor concentration
🧠 Difficulty focusing
🧠 Difficulty completing tasks
🧠 Feeling spacey

The causes of Brain Fog include physical, emotional, biochemical factors and fatigue.

Some days FND brain fog makes everything feel slow, heavy, and hard to reach. But even on the foggiest days, your strength is still there.

Progress isn’t always loud or fast. Sometimes it’s simply getting through the day, asking for help, or taking one small step forward. And that still counts.

Be gentle with yourself. You’re doing better than you think. 🥰

Train your mind to notice all your blessings, especially on the days when life feels heavy.

Gratitude doesn’t ignore the hard moments - it simply reminds you that light still exists alongside them. A kind word, a quiet morning, a deep breath, a small win… they all matter.

The more you notice the good, the more strength you build to face the tough days. 🌿

🍇 DID YOU KNOW??… 🍇

Who knew!

It can sometimes be hard to get grapes with the seeds in them these days, why is that?

A quick search and the consistent response is, apparently, we the consumer - didn't like them, so we now have modified seedless grapes!

We say bring back the seeded grapes and heres the reasons why...

- better sleep
- antioxidants
- flavonoids

Let us know your thoughts below.

Be patient with your process… 🐛🦋

Be patient with your process.
You are transforming.

Pain is always challenging, but it often leads us to our greatest metamorphoses. There are gifts and strengths within us that only emerge when they are required. Pain is not the only teacher, but many times it is a necessary one.

This does not mean we should remain trapped in pain, but rather use it as an impulse for growth and strengthening.

Healing our wounds, becoming stronger, and allowing our virtues to flourish is a process that takes time. This journey is filled with nuances, setbacks, and breakthroughs. Healing is not linear. It unfolds gradually.

When pain arrives, the invitation is to turn inward. To reflect on what it has come to teach us and what needs to change within us.

Little by little, transformation takes shape. What once hurt and felt like an ending becomes a beautiful beginning.

Do not be afraid of the changes in your life. Our experiences are cocoons that support our emotional metamorphosis and the birth of our best version.

𝐖𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠…

My body speaks in flickers and falls,
signals crossing like tangled halls.
The brain sends letters, sealed and true,
but somewhere mid-flight, they don’t get through.

It isn’t imagined, it isn’t a lie,
it’s thunder with no storm in the sky.
A hand that shakes, a leg that forgets,
a mind still sharp, but a body in debts.

Doctors look for breaks and scars,
for shattered bones or faulty stars,
but FND hides in the in-between—
not damaged, yet not running clean.

I grieve the ease I used to own,
the thoughtless steps, the steady tone.
Some days I fight, some days I rest,
both are acts of doing my best.

Still—I am more than misfired cues,
more than the symptoms I didn’t choose.
I learn new paths, I rewrite maps,
I stand back up after nervous collapse.

My brain is not broken, just learning again,
how to trust the body it lives within.
And even when the system feels frayed,
I am still here.
I am still brave.

When you live with FND, movement can feel unpredictable, painful, or exhausting. But gentle, regular mobility can help retrain the nervous system, improve strength, boost mood, and build confidence.

Mobility doesn’t mean pushing through pain or forcing your body. It means small, safe, and consistent movements that work for you - whether that’s stretching in a chair, short walks, physiotherapy exercises, or simply changing positions more often.

(𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑜 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 neurosymptoms.org)

Chronic pain occurs when signals of pain remain active in the nervous system for weeks, months, or even years. Chronic pain can be mild, excruciating, episodic, continuous, inconvenient or totally incapacitating. Pain can take both a physical and emotional toll on a person, and this type of pain does not always respond to medication.

THE PAIN MAY BE SIMULTANEOUSLY LOCATED IN MULTIPLE AREAS… (see image)

THE INTENSITY AND TYPE OF PAIN MAY VARY FROM DAY TO DAY…

⚡️ Aching
⚡️ Deep
⚡️ Shooting
⚡️ Radiating
⚡️ Tender
⚡️ Pins and needles
⚡️ Burning
⚡️ Sharp
⚡️ Dull
