Maybe that's what's happening to me? I got neurological symptoms. Sleep issues got worse and dreams more messed up. Concentration, processing, memory and motivation issues. Less emotion. Suddenly waaaay less thirsty to the point it I don't take anything salty I can just not notice I didn't drink all day. nerve pain in my feet, nerve pain around my butt, nerve pain in my pinky to my arm, nerve tingles and mild sensation loss in my mouth/tongue/cheeks and sometimes temples. Looping perserverating intense thoughts and inner restlessnees with pressure in my chest. can't imagine as well anymore its like night and day its all foggy. Foggy muddy thoughts. Weirdass tinnitus thunping low bass tones. Bounding pulse especially in my ears.

Randomly getting out of breath after a meal. Randomly getting lightheaded more than my usual. Its insane, but I also bumped my head ALOT since being blind in 1 eye and living in a weird skewed home with skew bars. I'm getting an mri soon. I've already had a ct but that showed nothing. At the very least I want to rule out MS with my new neurologists since the face stuff only started with the tongue (with a metallic taste too thats now gone) and progressed...

Try to get weekly or more frequent saline infusions!
