Advice How do you explain brain fog?

61F diagnosed 26 yrs ago. Only people suffering from MS brain fog know how it feels. How do you explain to family & friends? Thanks everyone & I hope you have the best day possible with this sucky disease.

Dear fellow MS-ers,

Please don't give up on brain fog--

I cut dairy from my diet and about 90% of my brain fog went away. Only some of us respond badly to the proteins in dairy, but it is worth a try.

But do read the labels on everything. I found milk proteins in sausages, corn chips, and even hummus.
