This hits too close. I was doing poorly at work for a few months with much the same symptoms: anxiety, severe brain fog, lethargy, etc. On good days I was at maybe 30%. A few days after being laid off I went to the dentist to extract a cracked molar because I was starting to experience vertigo and suspected a infection. Almost a week later I feel like an entirely different person: Sharp. Composed. Energized. Back to the self I almost forgot.

Apparently I had a slow burn infection that dragged me much much harder than I realized.

No doubt...health issues can seem superficially minor, but impact you in significant ways that are nearly impossible to correlate.
