Do your symptoms increase throughout the day? Do you feel generally better in the morning? Or are your symptoms very consistent throughout the day?
My symptoms get worse throughout the day. This is the one thing that gives me hope that these symptoms are NOT permanent. One would think that if this problem were related to brain damage or something similar, the symptoms would be stable and consistent.
Right? 
now Iām feeling better day by day ,but for me is and was the sameā¦I was better in the morning and shit at night,itās because of the hormones metabolism I thinkā¦but still donāt understand the root of this not right metabolism and how to correct it or if the problem is a lack of hormones -
I was always better in the morning as well.
mines pretty much better now. Im 7.5 months off.
Hang in there mate, took about a year for my brain fog to clearā¦time will be the greatest healer.
it fluctuates , depending on if i have eaten foods which i am sensitive to
usually i do feel a little better in the morning but like i say it can vary
i felt better after a 30 min swimming session the other day , im going to try an hour of swimming per day , then increase the oxygen in my body after the exercise with a heavily diluted hydrogen peroxide solution.
i still find myself quite unfit even after regular cardio and weight exercise over the past few months so hopefully the swimming can help my body more by working more muscles and giving a better workout.also being in the water stops the regular itch i get when i do regular out of water exercise (i get this itch when i get hot , over my whole upper body)
Yup I am better in the mornings as well. Not great, but better than the afternoons. I am almost at six months off and still having damn sides.
It seems here that most people agree that decreased brain fog is evident in the morning, but I would also extend it to any time of day after sleep.
I seem to remember being incredibly clear minded just after mid-day naps. I donāt know if the human body is naturally like this just after naps, but I have no slur of speech, and no cognitive difficulty just after waking up from naps. Itās almost like Iām in a pre-fin state!!! The feeling stays for 10-20 min or so. Does anyone else have this?
Just to give you even more hope, my brain fog has basically totally cleared up now. 11 months off. It does come back every now and then but im no longer worried about it. Plus im waking up not feeling drowsy any more.
Unfortunately, now that i have my mental faculties back, ive realised how low my libido is and that my wirry doesnāt work very well. Im now in stage 2 propecia suffering, and i have a feeling its not going to subside easily. 
Stage one, really - weāre all worried. My brain fog has lifted pretty decently over the past week, but the condition, methinks, remains the same - androgen failure. This is a hormonal and neuroendocrine issue, but manifests in some differently depending on our bodies (x much brain fog, x much impotence, etc). Going through a simmilar feeling of greater awareness and feeling, with scant improvement in the libido front, and itās really all the sameā¦
Yeah man i subscribe to that theory for sure. I cant quite explain it but right now i feel physically and mentally tired, without the brain fog and anxiety. Brain fog for me was this distinctly awful pressure in my head. Lately, i keep doing stupid things because its like im in my mind ruminating too much. For example i will miss the turn off when driving friends somewhere or when people talk to me it seems to take a good few seconds to register/comprehend what they said and then think of a response. I think its stress from university that im not handling too well. (possibly because of some neurochemical problem).
Still though, its just friggen depressing always trying to uncover some medical reason for all of this. This forum can destroy you pretty hard imagining permanent damage to our brains or sexual systems. Im a pretty open minded and mentally strong guy but at this point i just dont have the willpower. One thing this site has given me is inspiration for trying whatever i can to improve myself. For the moment im just trying to try to eat healthy, exercise and focus on the small things. If it is possible to kick my brain chemistry back into gear by conquering my mind and never giving up am definately going to do it.
Yes, my symptoms are very similar. I think in the past few days I have experienced severe difficulty registering speech. Like my roommate will say something that is very simple, like āwhat time is your next class?ā, and it will take my brain a bit to register what he said. I am now in the habit of asking people to repeat what they just said, and during the time they are repeating what they said, it will register with my brain what was said the first time.
I believe itās more difficult when you are actually conscious of your problem. The problem is certainly not something entirely in your head, because other people will sometimes notice it, but being conscious of the problem duplicates it. It creates a distraction because you are no longer just trying to focus on what is going on, but you are trying to focus on the act of focusingāwhich never works. Does that make sense to anyone?
That makes perfect sense. I completely understand what you are saying. When I was at my worst thatās what completely sabotaged my position with the company I was working at. I could no longer think on my feet adequately enough. I was thinking about thinking, which is so redundant I just didnāt want to do or say anythingā¦
im no expert here but arenāt the androgen hormones created by the adrenal glands?
The brainfog will be the first thing to improve when you start to get better. Thatās how itās been with me. I was a bit of a clown for about 6 months after I quit, barely able to remember my name and then little by little the cognitive stuff came back. I think if I ever recover fully, the sexual stuff will come last.
From my experience, the sexual stuff is the last thing to come creeping back ever so slowly. Iām just glad I can think again and have conversations without feeling like my head is going to explode from the anxiety. That shit was the worst.
Some more good news for those that still have the brain fog. I used to get every day when I woke up. It would usually stick with me most of the day. It was horrible, I would finally start feeling better around 5:00 when the day was basically over.
Now I feel like mine is pretty much gone. I think much more clear and my memory is better. Now I have to wait for the sexual improvement and muscle strength to improve.
I am 6 months off and still experiencing brain fog at the level I experienced it when I was on. I am hoping that in another 6 months, this will all be just a bad dream ā I have no other symptoms.
