Yes, many people with MG experience brain fog and mental fatigue that can create sensations like your head "swimming." This is especially common during flare-ups or when tired. These cognitive symptoms are a recognized part of MG and you're not alone in experiencing them.

The sensation may be related to how MG affects acetylcholine activity in your brain, which impacts learning, memory, and thinking processes. Several MGteam members have shared similar experiences with cognitive symptoms that get better and worse, just like other MG symptoms. It's important to note that mental fatigue can be just as draining as physical fatigue.

If these symptoms are concerning you, discussing them with your healthcare provider is recommended. They can help identify if the symptoms are related to your MG and suggest management strategies, such as better sleep routines or organizational tools to help when you're feeling mentally foggy.

Oh my goodness, yes! It is a very strange feeling, hard to explain, but seems to happen when I am exhausted. Mainly happens after lying down for the night, I sometimes have to brace myself for the floating that my head seems to do.
