Brain fog
It occurs when the body is being destroyed and the brain pays the price. When the body is inflamed due to an autoimmune condition, the heart continues pumping the blood, circulating the inflammation. Blood gets carried to the brain as well, meaning the inflamed blood goes to the main organ that keeps our body functioning properly.
Also, autoimmune conditions cause “bad cells” within the brain to begin attacking healthy neurons. When the healthy neurons are destroyed, the inflammation gets perceived as brain fog.
Inability to fall asleep
Not all sleep disturbances mean a patient has an autoimmune condition. However, the main organs that affect sleep—the adrenal glands—are normally struggling to work properly when there is an autoimmune condition.
