@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Other than side affect from the the medications, brain fog can be due to inflammation in the brain. The same inflammatory molecules running through your musculoskeletal system also run through your brain, all transported via your blood. If you get an MRI on your brain it will show up as diffuse white spots spread throughout both hemispheres. That's what i was just looking at with my Neurologist a couple hours ago. Do everything you possibly can to improve your health through dietary choices, lifestyle such as good sleep practices and regular exercise, and minimize stress. When it gets that bad, the next step is all out dementia or MS or severe stroke. Just ask Andy in here about that. Do not allow yourself to believe the drs can control your disease through their meds. Only you can control how bad it gets or if it can be put into remission. Every single choice you make matters a lot. Good luck. Yours in better health P ๐๐
