    Have you had blood tests for any vitamin deficiencies? I had massive brain fog when I had a major Vit D deficiency, and there are other deficiencies that could also cause BF. But also get hormonal levels checked, as has been suggested. Even if you're taking a medication, that doesn't necessarily mean your levels are in the normal range.

    MFP includes a deficit when you chose your rate of loss.

    Cardio is all well but for nearly a year have had awful brain fog bottomless pit days that suck more then cancer

    OP, I'm quoting this because you mention cancer. Have you had cancer that was treated with chemo? Brain fog following treatment can happen to some people. My husband went through it shortly after treatment many years ago.

    You also may want to set your carbs a little bit lower, and raise your protein. If your body does not respond well to carbs, that could cause tiredness and brain fog.

    Sinnce this has been ongoing for so long I'd go to your doctor and tell them your symptoms. There are a number of medical conditions that could cause your symptoms. You might need some tests run to find out.

    Have you been losing weight, maintaining or gaining during this time period?

    Pretty sure Exeffor can cause some brain fog as a side effect and the other two could possibly contribute also. Like others have said, see your doctor because that is the only way of being able to determine a cause.

    Could it be menopause related?
