No, I haven't done that test. I started to bring it up with the doctor during the last visit, but I had to choose my battles with her... it was pulling teeth to get anything (and at the end of the visit, I found out why: "We don't usually deal with more than one issue per visit." I was supposed to make six appointments instead of write out my requests and do my research ahead of time). I STILL haven't gotten the CPAP prescription from her; we paid out-of-pocket. So... new doctor. Soon.
I didn't notice the fog clearing (or didn't have as much problem with the brain fog) when I tried the anti-inflammatory diet to corral the psoriasis a while back (it didn't do much for the existing lesions, but the joints did feel better). I also remember feeling pretty good when I was doing the Atkin's thing about twelve years ago... I know now that it's not all it's cracked up to be, but definitely removing the grains did a lot for my inflammation in several ways. Menopause has hit full-force in the last year, and the brain fog was bad bad bad in the last few months. It finally sank in that it hit worst on days we had waffles or pancakes or bagels for breakfast (and I'd feel drunk for most of the day, enough that I didn't trust myself to drive sometimes). It seems to be the big doses that caused the shutdown; but I have to wonder what's going on with the smaller doses? Can I handle those just fine, or is there hidden reactions going on that I'm not noticing?
Good luck with your big upcoming event... fingers crossed!
