I think u might be on too many drugs all on same time which can cause brain fog it's ok 👍 ur not alone I sometimes the same way too.check with new dr and see if they can give u something very strong for ur pain but u can function too with taking less. For me I take the bacclofin x2 for muscle spasms Tylenol arthritis helps me to walk around & epival for the seizures for epilepsy no seizures going on 8yrs now.let me know BTW the epival is the best on the market for seizures but it costs me $300 a mth 100 pills 3 pills a day in the am it's all time released into ur body after u take it .it might take u a wk for ur body to get used too it but Worth it less pain let me know.thx talk soon
